Removing a damaged panel for new replacement.

Removal of a full depth panel for repair.

Preparing the base for new concrete.

Drilling holes for a 1" epoxy dowel bars. These 1" dowel bars tie the existing concrete to the new concrete to keep the panels from vertical movement.

Failed concrete that will need to be removed

Partial repairs showing the top half chipped or ground out. This also shows a spot where the deterioration of the old concrete goes to the base. Rebar is drilled and epoxied into the old concrete to help keep the new concrete in place.

Saw truck sawing slots for the Dowel Bar Retrofit. These dowel bar slots are then chipped out to place a 1 1/4 " dowel bar 15" long in the slots. It is then filled with a special high strength concrete mix. This is done at the midpanel cracks in the road to stabilize the panels. The dowels are placed to about half the depth of the concrete. The hose on the truck sucks up the slurry created by the cutting.

This core hole shows a mid-panel crack all the way to the base. It indicate how much deteriation there is in the concrete. This will get a Dowel Bar Retrofit to keep the two panels from shifting and moving vertically.
