Crossover edge repairs are commonly used to restore damaged sections where driveways meet roads, known as vehicle crossovers. These edges often break down due to repeated vehicle use, water runoff, and aging asphalt. Repairing them improves safety, prevents further road damage, and ensures a smoother, more durable transition between private properties and public roads. These repairs are especially important for compliance with council standards and maintaining road quality.
Accurate measurement is essential before repairing crossover edges. Measure the length, width, and depth of the damaged area to determine the material needed and ensure a proper fit. Precise measurements help restore the surface smoothly and maintain structural integrity for safe vehicle passage.
With all measurements confirmed and markings in place, proceed to cut or mill the existing surface as needed.
Once the repair area is prepared and measured, apply tack coat, place asphalt evenly laid into the trench or damaged section. The asphalt is then compacted using rollers or plate compactors to remove air pockets and ensure a dense, durable surface. Proper compaction is essential for long-lasting repairs that can withstand traffic and weather.
After laying and compacting the asphalt trench, applying crack sealant around the edges helps prevent water infiltration and extends the repair’s lifespan. Crack sealing fills small gaps and joints, protecting the patch from damage caused by moisture and traffic stress. This maintenance step ensures a durable, long-lasting surface.
