Squared-Off Repairs in Cracked Pavement

Asphalt Coatings Company set squared-off blocks of fresh asphalt into older, cracked pavement at Red Rocks Church. Every repair is a clean, defined block, which gives each one a tidy edge against the surrounding surface.

Some repairs sit in the stall rows against the building's back wall. Others run along a service drive lined with brush and a wooden fence, or tuck against the yellow curb islands out front.

Where the Repairs Went

Asphalt Coatings Company placed infrared repairs in five kinds of locations at Red Rocks Church: stall rows, the service drive, a painted stripe, a storm drain and the curb islands.

• Stall rows: against the back wall, a square patch now sits in a stall row surrounded by alligator-cracked asphalt.
• Service drive: long patches follow the rear service drive between the building and the brush line.
• Painted stripe: one patch stops cleanly at a yellow stripe painted across the drive.
• Storm drain: near the loading area, the new asphalt is cut to shape around a storm drain grate.
• Curb islands: in the main lot, several patches run right up to yellow-painted curb islands.

The Rear Service Drive

Asphalt Coatings Company repaired the rear service drive at Red Rocks Church with long infrared patches. The drive runs between the building and a brush line, with a wooden fence along one side. Long repairs follow the drive rather than spotting a few holes, so the route used for loading and service traffic gets a continuous restored surface.

Near the loading area, the crew cut the new asphalt to shape around a storm drain grate, keeping the inlet clear while repairing the pavement around it.

Repairs in the Main Lot

Asphalt Coatings Company placed infrared patches between the planted islands and along the drive aisles in the main lot at Red Rocks Church. Two of them sit side by side next to a planter strip. A small roller worked among the patches near the islands to compact the repairs.

Curb islands are common trouble spots, because cars turn tightly around them and water collects along their edges. Running repairs right up to the yellow-painted islands closes those gaps.

Why Infrared Repair Suits a Church Property

Asphalt Coatings Company uses infrared asphalt repair to fix localized damage without full replacement. The infrared process heats the existing asphalt so it can be reworked and compacted in place. For a church, that means targeted repairs across a lot and service drive, focused on the places where the pavement has actually failed, such as the alligator-cracked area against the back wall.
