Pothole Material Calculator

Calculate required cold-mix asphalt mass in kg/lbs, uncompacted placement depth, retail packaging units, and the exact SOUP liquid binder mixing recipe for pothole restorations and utility cuts.

5-Step Installation Process

Cavity Preparation

Sweep out loose debris, standing water, and loose stone. Squared vertical edges provide optimal mechanical lock.

Recipe Mixing

Tumble 95.8% RAP aggregate, 2.0% hydrated lime, and 2.2% SOUP liquid binder until uniformly coated and glossy black.

Placement & Overfill

Shovel cold-mix into cavity. Crown 1.5–2.0 cm (0.6–0.8 in) above existing pavement grade to account for compaction reduction.

Compaction

Tamp thoroughly with hand tamper, roller, or vibratory plate. In traffic areas, vehicle tires provide ongoing supplementary compaction.

Immediate Traffic Opening

No cooling or curing required. Open immediately to full traffic loads. Optional TL-2000 coat provides total water-seal.
