Road Condition

The lowly pothole is one of the major challenges which are


almost always caused by water, which softens the road base
material; which in turn causes failures on the surface in the
form of – first, cracking, then, ruts and finally, potholes. To
combat this problem the technology Mechanical Concrete®
Pothole Terminator can be used.
The pothole is completely excavated at the base as well as the
asphalt surface is removed. The sub-grade at the bottom of the
hole is covered with woven separation fabric. Then, a tire-
derived-cylinder is placed in the hole and filled with AASHTO
#57 stone, and new surface pavement is placed. This
construction technique is known as the Mechanical Concrete®
Pothole Terminator because it eliminates the impact of root
cause of the pothole, water.
