Partial / Full Depth Repair Concrete Patching

Partial Depth Repair

Partial depth repair is a targeted and cost-effective method for addressing surface-level distress in concrete pavements before it develops into a major structural problem. This process involves removing only the upper, deteriorated portion of the concrete slab, leaving the sound base intact. By precisely targeting localized issues like spalling at the joints, scaling, and minor surface cracks, we can restore a smooth and durable surface, halt further deterioration, and significantly extend the service life of your pavement. It's an essential, proactive repair strategy that saves time and money by fixing small problems before they require a complete overhaul.

  • Addresses Surface-Level Issues: Ideal for fixing spalling, scaling, popouts, and minor cracks confined to the top third of the concrete slab.

  • Cost-Effective: Less expensive and time-consuming than full depth replacement, preserving the structurally sound portion of your pavement.

  • Extends Pavement Life: Halts the spread of surface damage and prevents water from penetrating to the base, avoiding more serious failures down the line.

  • Minimally Disruptive: The repair process is completed quickly, allowing for a faster return to service for your roadway or facility.

Full Depth Repair

When pavement distress extends through the entire thickness of the concrete slab, a full depth repair is the definitive solution to restore complete structural integrity. This comprehensive method involves cutting out and removing the entire failed section of concrete down to the base layer. After ensuring the base is stable and installing new load-transfer devices (dowel bars), we pour new, high-strength concrete to create a permanent, seamless repair. Full depth repair is essential for fixing severe issues like large transverse cracks, corner breaks, and shattered slabs, ensuring your pavement can safely handle heavy traffic loads for years to come.

  • Restores Structural Integrity: The only proper solution for severe damage that compromises the entire concrete slab.

  • Permanent, Long-Term Fix: Addresses the root cause of the failure by replacing the entire damaged section and reinforcing the joints.

  • Corrects Major Failures: The necessary solution for deep, full-lane cracking, shattered slabs, and complete joint failure.

  • Ensures Safety and Performance: Eliminates major hazards and restores a smooth, stable surface capable of supporting maximum design loads.
