Seen this done on our local roads, didn't last 6 months and after the first bad freeze it was as bad as it ever was. If it broke up because the subsurface was unstable you just painted over the problem basically. The edges are not properly prepared and sealed so waters going to get back underneath and you have the same problem all over again.

You actually repair potholes, first time I've seen that

In ireland a council pickup filled with tar and a shovel in the back, drives up to every 3rd or 4th pothole and fills the pothole with tar and then straight after with the wheels of the pickup it drives over the tar to flatten it, it still happens to this day @corkcountycouncil

How long does the repair last!
How much does the machinery cost?

I can see where Nairobi governor borrowed this awesome invention from. Really cool guys.

[barney]

the last pothole had a pushed over guide post that was most likely next to a leaking culvert which causes the problem . so it was busting out next to an old patch .

And this is how you make money again and again from the same job. Funny thing is that the repair could be done properly within the same budget!

its all about sidewall adhesion...nothing will stay in place without ..all this above is quick fix stuff that's coming out sharpish.

A far cry from how potholes are filled in Ireland.
How long would a filling like this typically last?

[samcaldwell]

All these years that tarmac has been used and they still cannot find a satisfactory way to repair it the local highway just throw tarmac in the wet pothole and two weeks later as bad as before

[DJBaldPaul]

Call me an old sceptic but I just don't believe that this kind of repair will last very long.

[johnnypham]

Let's see if the Caltrain will fix the pot hole in 3:05 more like half day job with lots of pothole still all over in California.

How long does a patch like that last. NOT much compacting.

[lafamillecarrington]

Also had experience of similar work - but done much less effectively. Ended up with lumps that were as large as the original potholes, made cycling miserable, and didn't last. We have just had workmen outside our house filling holes which are full of water and mud. Then they tarmaced over a drain. Sigh! Surely doing it properly is more cost-effective.

and still 100, 000, 000, 000, 00 pot holes on the road

Repair jobs like this only last a year if that

[sokman]

I ask permission to react to this video, thank you

[davelowe]

This isn't a repair, it's a bodge.
