Storm repair checklist

• Make the site safe first — cone off the hazard.
• Pump or sweep out what you can, but don’t wait for the hole to dry.
• Fill with Asphalt in a Bag; it displaces water as it’s compacted.
• Compact and reopen the lane immediately.
• Revisit after the event and top up any settled patches.

Why Asphalt in a Bag

• Permanent. Expands and contracts with the road surface, so the patch moves with the pavement instead of breaking away.
• Cures on impact. Curing is activated by compaction — tamp it or roll it and it sets.
• Bonds to anything. Adheres to asphalt, concrete, steel and even wood.
• Any weather. Apply from -26°C to 49°C, in rain, or straight into a pothole full of water.
• No tack coat. No pre-coating or priming. Open, pour, compact.
• Traffic-ready. Application is up to five times faster, and it can take traffic immediately.
