Western TTAP: Pothole Patching and Repair (Virtual)
Using proper patching and repair techniques can improve structural integrity and restore rideability for pavements experiencing local failures. This 2-hour training compares partial- and full-depth repair techniques along with materials used to implement them.
Learning Objectives:
After attending training, you will be able to:
- Explain the purpose of pothole patching and repair
- Describe pavement conditions that indicate a partial-depth patching (PDP) is appropriate
- Describe pavement conditions that indicate a full-depth patching (FDP) is appropriate
- Select appropriate projects for PDP and FDP
- Identify best practices for properly completing repairs and key inspection factors when monitoring an FDP
Prerequisites:
None.
Target Audience:
This training is intended for personnel who select or apply patching materials in potholes or localized structural failures, as well as personnel who may specify or inspect the work.
