If the asphalt is laid according to all the rules, then it should serve more than one year. But this is in theory. In our life, everything is different. As a rule, the first pits on the roads appear within a few months after updating the pavement.

Such repairs bring road services a steady income. In a couple of weeks, the same hole will gap in this place. So, you can earn money on repairs again.

The answer is bad roads: how to get paid for the services of an expert trasologist in compulsory motor third-party liability insurance. Why is this happening? The main reasons, of course, are negligence and a violation of asphalt laying technology. For the sake of economy, road builders (I want to get more money and spend less) add less bitumen emulsion to the mixture, save on sand and gravel. Because of this, the asphalt becomes brittle and as a result, fractures, cracks and pits appear.
Current standards do not allow road services to wait for good and comfortable weather for repairs. Judge for yourself, the existing GOST R 50597–93 “Roads and streets. Requirements for the operational condition permissible under the conditions of ensuring road safety”the maximum permissible dimensions for pits on roads are established: the width of the road is not more than 60 cm, the length is 15, and the depth is 5.
Traffic police officers are obliged to monitor the condition of the roadway and, if problem areas are identified, immediately inform the road workers. Those, in turn, are required to promptly repair the roadway. After all, if a car gets into such a hole, it will be the organization that services this section of the road that will have to answer.

Despite the fact that current standards oblige road workers to repair roads promptly, we constantly drive through such holes. Despite the fact that current standards oblige road workers to repair roads promptly, we constantly drive through such holes. Related Materials
Why traffic police statistics are not happy, or Ordered to survive. That is why, despite the rain and snow, the asphalt rolls into the pits. Indeed, according to the standards, the elimination period is a maximum of 10 days. Is it correct?
Road works on laying asphalt (including patching) are carried out in accordance with SNIPs and GOSTs. When patching, a cold installation method is usually used. In this case, the asphalt mix sets very quickly and you can almost immediately drive through the repaired area.
There is still a hot way. It is used mainly in the construction of new roads and the reconstruction of old ones. Here they use hot bitumen mixture and roll it until it cools completely. Occasionally, hot styling is also resorted to during patching. More often in warm time, when the temperature in the street is not lower than 10ºС. However, there are so-called cast mixtures that allow hot styling even at sub-zero temperatures. Such a mixture is brought to the repair site in a special thermos trailer. The composition is in a liquid state, like a thick glue. The temperature of the mixture is under 200ºС. Following the technology, it can be stacked even in harsh winter conditions. From high temperature, moisture from the pit simply evaporates. After the mixture hardens, a section of the road can be operated. Pleasure is quite expensive. Therefore, this type of repair is used in case of serious damage to the canvas, when it is necessary to quickly restore movement to the emergency site.

If repairs are done according to the rules, patches will be held for a long time. If repairs are done according to the rules, patches will be held for a long time. Related Materials
Road repair: how not to get into the pit So, if hot styling is used in the warm season (+ 10ºС and higher), cold styling is limited to slight frosts (not lower than –5ºС), and cast mixtures are more suitable for colders, even at –10ºС, for example. It is clear that, if necessary, road builders will patch the road even at lower temperatures. If a pit suddenly formed on the highway (fault, etc.), the traffic is blocked, and on the street minus 30, you won’t wait for spring warming. In general, any winter repairs on laying asphalt, in fact, are emergency. Their task is to ensure that the repaired area lasts until it is warm, when it is possible to do restoration seriously.
As you can see, roads can also be repaired in winter. The main thing is to comply with the technology. But only in our realities few people think about high-quality road repair. Indeed, for most road services it is more important to have a good and constant income from the repair and maintenance of roads. If you do everything qualitatively, you can’t get money from the budget. The problem is that we have not yet established guarantees for the service life of the road surface. If such a period were, then all the pit road builders would eliminate at their own expense. And so they built the road, got the money. Potholes appeared - they patched, again they received money. As a result, we are simply doomed to ride in pits and potholes.

Lack of equipment, violation of regulations and poor quality control of repairs - this is the reason for the disgusting condition of roads. Lack of equipment, violation of regulations and poor quality control of repairs - this is the reason for the disgusting condition of roads.
