A pavement repair system is provided utilizing Solid Phase Auto Regenerative Cohesion (SPARC) Homogenization by Liquid Asphalt Oligopolymerization (HALO) technologies. The SPARC-HALO system is suitable for use in repairing asphalt pavement, including pavement exhibiting a high degree of deterioration (as manifested in the presence of potholes, cracks, ruts, or the like) as well as pavement that has been subject to previous repair and may comprise a substantial amount of dirt and other debris (e.g., chipped road paint or other damaged or disturbed surfacing materials). The HALO system is suitable for rejuvenating aged asphalt, thereby improving properties of the paving material. |
