Road repair & maintenance

IKO Pacopatch is a long-lasting mastic asphalt system designed to reinstate failing surfaces surrounding manholes, drainage gullies and other public utilities ironworks. IKO Pacopatch has a long track record of being specified by local authorities and utilities across the country since 2001.

Why use IKO Pacopatch?

• No costly second visits - IKO Pacopatch provides a long-term road reinstatement installation solution every time, with results guaranteed for 5 years and a life expectancy of up to 10 years.
• No void system - it is an impermeable and monolithic mastic asphalt reinstatement solution.
• No compaction required - no roller or plate compactor is required, resulting in no further damage to ironwork seating.
• No extended road closures - installation can be completed quickly and easily.
• Smoother transition from ironwork to flexible pavement - for improved structural continuity.
• System materials guarantee – for up to five years.

Severe fatiguing and traffic damage can occur where road surfaces meet metal tram and train rails. This damage is not only caused by road vehicles, but from the increased vibration and excessive tensile movements within the rails at crossovers and bends.

Why use IKO Permatrack?

• Rapid installation reduces delays, inconvenience and maintenance costs - repaired roads can be reopened to traffic within just two hours.
• Minimum depth of repair - 40mm.
• No maximum depth.
• Repairs thin wearing layers - with no need for large patch removal, including SMA.
• Rut resistance - at 50°C 3mm/hour.
• Excellent skid resistance properties.
• Long service life - even in high shear situations and standing traffic areas.
• BBA HAPAS approved.

Over time, bridge expansion joints can become distorted due to heavy, slow-moving vehicles and overloading. This can lead to irreversible damage being caused, especially in areas where low movement asphaltic plug-type systems have been implemented.

Why use IKO Permatrack?

• Rapid installation reduces delays and inconvenience.
• Suitable for repairing joints of depths exceeding 70mm and any width.
• Long term durability.
• Withstands heavy traffic.
• Cost effective.
• Range of finishes to match different surfaces and skid resistance levels.
• High bond strength to substrate.

A rapidly installed repair system that provides a long-term solution to reflective cracking in traditional asphalt or concrete roads and is designed to withstand the heaviest traffic loads, including aircraft, trucks and tracked vehicles. It can be used for repairing a single crack or adjacent multiple cracks.

• Long term durability.
• Cost effective.
• Range of finishes to match different road surfaces.
• High bond strength to substrate.

Severe fatiguing and traffic damage can occur where road surfaces meet metal tram and train rails. This damage is not only caused by road vehicles, but from the increased vibration and excessive tensile movements within the rails at crossovers and bends.

Why use IKO Permatrack?

• Versatile and waterproof system.
• Accommodates differential movement.
• Rapid installation reduces delays and inconvenience.
• Unlimited joint width and depth.
• Long term durability.
• Withstands heavy traffic.
• Cost effective.

IKO Permatrack bridge surfacing is mastic asphalt designed for use as a surface course, base course or protection layer on new build and maintenance road construction of steel and concrete bridge decks.

Why use IKO Permatrack?

• Covered in BSI document PD6691 – guidance on the use of BS EN 13108 bituminous mixtures.
• Waterproof surfacing – contributes to the overall waterproofing of the structure. Impervious to water and unaffected by freeze/thaw cycling.
• Reduced loadings – dead loads on structure can be reduced through less thickness of surfacing.
• Versatile – product design mixes to accommodate anything from foot to vehicular traffic.

IKO’s Permatrack products, especially our grouting mortars, have become synonymous with the highest quality range of flood defence systems. They have been developed in close collaboration with the Environment Agency, regional water companies, local authorities and major civil engineering contractors.

Why use IKO Permatrack?

• Can be placed both above and below the water level - unlike other systems.
• Simple to install.
• Outstanding strength and robustness.
• Flexible enough to follow long-term settlement of sea defence structures.
• Can be recycled at end of working life.
• Cost effective solution.
• Long-term protection – for up to 40 years.
