OVERLAYS AND EDGE REPAIRS

EZ STREET® asphalt overlay can also be utilized as a permanent overlay material if proper installation procedures are followed. As with any material, optimum placement of a well compacted, solid, unyielding base is imperative under the EZ STREET® asphalt patch material in order to avoid material failure that can result from settling, rutting, or shoving.

EZ STREET® asphalt edge repair should be placed in maximum 2” lifts with each lift receiving proper compaction. Best performance will be realized if a vibratory steel wheel roller is utilized to achieve compaction following the application of each material lift. In cases where a steel wheel roller will not fit into the trench for compaction of the initial material lift(s), a plate compactor should be used. Use of a vibratory steel wheel roller is the preferred mode of compaction for all material lift(s), especially the final or top lift on all trench applications.

EZ STREET® can be expected to consolidate up to 40% before maximum density is achieved . When installing a 2” lift, EZ STREET® asphalt repair should be placed approximately ¾-1” higher than the desired finished surface level prior to compaction insuring that the trench contains sufficient EZ STREET® asphalt repair material after optimum compaction is achieved.
