Patching - Large (Over 5 Sq Ft - 0.5 Sq M)and Utility Cut

Patching is the same as defined in the previous section. A utility cut is a patch that has replaced the original pavement because of placement of underground utilities. The severity levels of a utility cut are the same as those for regular patching.

How to Count

The criteria are the same as for small patches.

SeverityDistress ExampleDescription
Low
Patch is functioning well with very little or no deterioration.
Medium
Patch has deteriorated and/or moderate spalling can be seen around the edges. Patch material can be dislodged with considerable effort, causing some FOD potential.
High
Patch has deteriorated to a state which causes considerable roughness and/or high FOD potential. The extent of the deterioration warrants replacement of the patch.
