The prior comment made by a past employee has been removed. Burning propane in our infrared equipment does not lead to "zero" emissions as previously stated. However, it is one of the cleanest burning fuels available as it produces very little emissions and absolutely no toxic fumes. Our goal is to push propane as THE fuel for this industry as it will lead to a much more green industry overall. Asphalt is after all the most recyclable material available!
With al these negative comments I stand to make a considerable amount of more money over these people who don't want to learn to and evolve with newer technology. It's all about time, efficiency, and proper application. (each job has its own needs).
Yea bro blow and go is what it's all about and this ain't blowing and going this is sit around and wait. I can you circles around this shit with a 3 man crew doing tear outs, this might be good for a couple patches but not a production job and any real paver wouldn't waisted their time with this, this is more like a handy man repair
Not bad I guess. Fix is not exactly level but it's close. Seems to work for the job at hand. I would rather have a solution that could do Potholes and Cracks as well but this looks like it works and a lot less equipment than repaving. I would be concerned about shrinkage still because the cold patch is mixed in again. I would be convinced seeing the same section a year later, if it is still level, as proof. Follow up?
I want to ask , wether these boys work for contractor, or government department as part of routine work. secondly in which category you will put this task in, minor work project, small work project, routine work project, etc
It all depends on the road's base. If you have issues with the road cracking due to there being a poor base, infrared will only temporarily fix it. Potholes and other non base blemishes are the ideal application for infrared. The reason for this is common sense; when you heat up asphalt and allow the fixed area to bind to the outer area due to heat, you end up with a solid and permanent joint.

We have customers using our equipment across the United States and Canada. Message me your city/town and I'd be glad to give you the name of our customer nearest you! The Infrared Repair process is really an interesting thing. I think it's the fact that so many people know so little about it while at the same time, it is built on the basic idea that two hot surfaces will bond better than one hot and one cold surface.
to many times have I seen brand new asphalt cut to fix a utility and then have cold patch thrown over the hole leaving a nasty bump forever because our local governments are to lazy to fix it right the first time so we can get more life from our expensive streets
using a tiger torch? you'll never heat 2" - 3" like what these guys are doing. infrared repair is the way to go. even if the base is bad you can cut the pat repair the base pour in new or reclaimed asphalt and the infared the seems. my question is how are you not creating pancakes using a tamper?
Ive been doing ir's for 15 years. Most of the time with a two man crew, myself as the lead. For two years I ran on my own. Doing all the things these 4-5 guys are doing on my own. Who set up this crew???? IR is the only way I patch.
Joe Hagen I'm looking to acquire one, any cons or advise since you have so much experience with them? Anything would be appreciated. Like I was wondering if you could connect patches so you could do big jobs or is it meant for only doing 1 patch.
could prolly heat it faster with a plumbing torch in the winter lol. all those prick trimmers for a small ass patch paying ppl to stand around and play footsies what a waste of money
Yea but you would have to go to asphalt place to pick new material up and alot always ends up getting thrown away. Plus they don't need to use a cut off saw and jackhammer which are extremely bad for you're hands and arms when used regularly another benefit is there is no cold joint when using these and as you know the joint is where future in problems come into play.Also less waste from ild asphalt.Ive done it both ways for year's and there is many benifits to these machines.

how much this repair cost?
you never added more asphalt it was dug up. Like binder so that part of the road is weak and will give.
Matt I 3:15
So the city pays twice to repair a utility cut but leaves a bunch of huge cracks right next to the cut?! The whole street needs to be repaved...

Too bad they don’t rent these or the smaller square ones. I could fix or refresh my driveway in no time with one of these.
notice they didnt get that cold patch out? fucking bullshit
Why would it need to be removed, it’s just additional fine aggregate and mixes into the asphalt just fine.
I think everyone is a bunch of brown Noser's job well done all black toppers work their ass off!!! And deserve a good review not a brown Noser👍
Shoulda went to KM International
How is it a waste of time?
chechnya cause if its all cracked up before 6 months later the same cracks are back
Peter Stanley lies

In the time it took those idiots to lute out that 4 × 4 area.....i could have ripped it all out and double layered it!!!!!

You guys needed to clear the trench and oil up the edges ... wtf is these .. I bet ima year others companies have to go back and repair this shit
you said it we rip it out and put new hot mix this is a waste of time if you are in buisness or on a job
