Utility cuts are essential for accessing underground services like water, gas, electricity, and communications. However, completing a road repair properly is just as important. Poor repairs cause dangerous defects, increase maintenance costs, and frustrate road crews and contractors.
When repairing utility cuts on Australian roads, many crews face a tough choice between unreliable cold mix or the heavy logistics of hot mix asphalt. There is a smarter way. EZ Street Ambient Asphalt delivers a faster, more durable solution without the limitations of traditional options.
Common Problems with Traditional Utility Cut Repairs
Traditional methods create major challenges:
- Short-Term Fixes: Cold mixes often fail under traffic and weather. They lead to potholes and repeated road repairs.
- Hot Mix Hassles: Hot mix asphalt needs precise timing, transport, and perfect weather. It is not always practical for smaller or urgent jobs.
- Weather Delays: Rain or cold weather can halt works, wasting time and money.
In busy cities and regions, these issues slow projects, raise costs, and increase safety risks.
