A pothole in a Tonkawa lot is a one-visit problem when it is handled right. Between the college and the interstate traffic coming off I-35, these lots stay busy, and the last thing a property needs is a repair that closes a drive lane for a day and then has to be redone. Infrared repair is built for exactly that.
One crew shows up, heats the failed asphalt in place to about 300°F, rakes in fresh hot mix, and compacts it all into a single bonded surface — then it is open to traffic in roughly an hour. No second mobilization, no waiting for a separate patch crew, no cold seam left around the edge for water to attack. Tonkawa is close enough to our Ponca City base that we can usually fold a repair into a nearby route without a special trip.
What an infrared repair includes in Tonkawa
- One visit, one crew — heat, fill, compact, done
- Existing asphalt reheated and reused instead of cut out and hauled off
- Hot mix compacted with the softened pavement so the patch bonds edge to edge
- Traffic-ready in about an hour, so a busy lot barely skips a beat
Where infrared fits — and where it doesn’t
Infrared earns its keep on surface failures — the pothole itself, a settled dip, a seam that has started to come apart, a lip that trips people at a doorway — as long as the base beneath is still solid. It is not the answer when the base has given out. A patch of cracking that looks like alligator skin, a soft spongy area, or pavement that has dropped well below the surface around it all point to base failure, and those need a full-depth fix rather than a reheated surface. We will look, tell you which one you have, and quote the repair that actually holds.

Tonkawa pothole repair questions
Does RemarkaPave repair potholes in Tonkawa?
Yes. We handle infrared pothole repair for commercial and institutional properties across Tonkawa, and it is a short run from our Ponca City base.
How long will my lot be out of service?
Not long. An infrared repair is compacted and drivable in about an hour, and we schedule around your busiest times so traffic keeps flowing.
Is infrared better than having someone throw in cold-patch?
Considerably. Cold-patch sits loose and pops out; infrared fuses new mix to the reheated pavement so the repair holds instead of failing at the edges.
What if it turns out my base has failed?
We tell you before we touch it. Soft spots, alligator cracking, and deep settlement are base problems that need full-depth repair — infrared would only hide them for a season.
