Ensure a more permanent pothole repair with BRP Road Patch.
BRP Road Patch
BRP Road Patch is a factory fabricated road repair product that is manufactured on paper, onto which a bitumen rubber binder holds bitumen precoated aggregates of various sizes. It is a proven seal and maintenance product that has been used for over 35 years internationally.
A total weatherproofing system
BRP Road Patch provides a flexible waterproof repair solution that seals the road surface and absorbs movement in the subbase layers, thus retarding further deterioration.
Apply a BRP Road Patch over the repair area extending a minimum of 100mm past repair edge to seal structural damage and restore a waterproof surface.
Eliminates Stress Cracking
The BRP Road Patch is an ideal sealing option where flexible pavements meet inflexible structures.
Environmental and cost savings:
Eliminates revisits
Lower cost material usage
Low capital outlay
Effective preventative maintenance
Less disruption to road users
Increased productivity.

BRP ROAD PATCH CASE STUDIES
-
Reduced winter maintenance – Tauranga City Council
BRP Road Patch has significantly reduced the time and resources required to fix potholes across the Tauranga City Council network. This case study profiles how BRP Road Patch has been adopted as a holding strategy to manage deteriorating pavements as well as a permanent repair on chipseal surfaces where there is a strong pavement surface.
-
Holding repairs, remediating a failing bridge pavement – Taupō District Council
BRP Road Patch is used in two profiled projects to provide a holding repair on a local road, and to remediate a cracking bridge deck, with BRP Road Patch used in both projects as an interim pavement repair solution. This case study profiles repairs to a heaved section of Aciacia Bay Road (a low volume road) and an overlay on a high-volume arterial access route due to extensive pavement fractures on the Wairakei Drive Control Gates bridge deck.
-
Repairing wearing course, trial for containment repairs at exit turning point – Taupō District Council
BRP Road Patch has been used in two high volume sites due to heavy traffic loadings and turning arcs at a major exit. This case study profiles how BRP Road Patch was used as a substitute for a dig out on Poihipi Road and as a trial for containment repairs at a major exit point from the “Z” Service Station Titiraupenga Street, Taupō.
