ARP REMAINS STRONG THROUGH WINTER CONDITIONS
Location: Duluth Airport Authority Taxiway / Minnesota's 3rd business airport
PROBLEM: Deterioration of filled potholes
ARP PATCH INSTALLED: 2019
REPAIR STATUS: Unscathed / in good condition after multiple seasons of snow plows, snow, ice & traffic
Duluth Airport Authority is a hub for F16 fighter planes. The airport was continuously filling and refilling potholes due to consistent traffic loading and deterioration.
The old fill was removed and covered with American Road Patch.
To ensure that none of the aggregate surfaced, the patch was tamped to embed the waterproofing membrane into the pavement.
Present day, after multiple snowfalls and plowing, American Road Patch remains strong!
Heavily Trafficked Potholes
LOCATION: Ohio
PROBLEM: Pothole on road heavily trafficked by semis
SOLUTION: The American Road Patch was used as the final step in the repair (filled with conventionl fill first).
ARP PATCH INSTALLED: 2016
ARP REPAIR STATUS: Repairs are intact and performing well after many snowy seasons. ARP successfully keeps water out, preventing damage.
Immediately after repair. With ARP, there is no downtime.
First the pothole was filled with conventional fill.
ARP is used as the final step to make the repair last.
Metal Plate Bridge Traction
LOCATION: New Zealand
PROBLEM: Old bridge that is trafficked frequently by big rigs and travelers. Metal plates that were installed to strenghten the bridge were very slippery and posed a threat to dairy truckers (New Zealands largest export) and travelers.
SOLUTION: ARP was laid over all the metal plates to ensure traction and braking on the plates is safe. The result is a safer bridge with higher traction.
ARP PATCH INSTALLED: 2022
ARP REPAIR STATUS: Bridge is now safe for motorists and big rigs with added traction. Weather has not impacted the patches at all.
