Industrial Pothole Repair Products

Industrial axle loads are dramatically higher than road traffic. A loaded haul truck on a mine ramp puts more load through one wheel than a fully loaded B-double puts through an entire axle group. Container handlers in a port pivot under load on small contact patches. Forklifts in a warehouse repeatedly twist and brake in the same spots.

Standard car-park cold-mix isn't engineered for that. The heavy-duty range — 10 Gauge and 14 Gauge — uses larger aggregate and more polymer binder to resist rutting, shearing and deformation under industrial loads.

Warehouse and factory hardstand — 10 Gauge for forklift and truck traffic. Mining haul roads and ramps — 14 Gauge for deep structural fill, 10 Gauge for surface repairs. Port aprons and container yards — 14 Gauge for the heaviest loads, 10 Gauge for routine work. Fuel forecourts — 10 Gauge with chemical resistance to fuel spills.

Every hour a haul road or warehouse aisle is closed costs production. The combination of immediate trafficability, single-operator application and no need for specialist plant compresses the downtime to the time it takes to physically apply the patch — usually 15 minutes per pothole.

For a mining site with quantified per-hour downtime cost, switching from hot-mix subcontract repairs to in-house cold-mix patching typically pays back within the first month.

The polymer-modified binder is resistant to salt, oil, grease and most petroleum chemicals. That covers the typical chemical exposure of industrial pavement — fuel spills, hydraulic oil drips, brine, salt-laden coastal environments.
