Asphalt Repair & Maintenance on Isla Mujeres: potholes, sealing and maintenance plans
Every rainy season and hurricane leaves potholes on Isla Mujeres; we repair with hot mix and rebuilt bases, then seal and re-stripe so the same spots do not fail again. Low areas in the centre flood in heavy rain; infiltration wells and careful grades are needed, and runoff must not discharge onto beaches.
Repair and Maintenance Services
Structural Pothole Repair
Saw-cut, excavation of wet or broken base, recompaction, tack coat and hot mix, rolled flush.
Seal Coat & Slurry
Protective coatings that restore colour, close the surface and add years to tired asphalt.
Concrete Repairs
Broken slab replacement, joint resealing and kerb and sidewalk repair.
Repairing without closing on Isla Mujeres
Visitor traffic is heavy all year with golf carts and mopeds in narrow streets; works are phased in short sections with careful traffic control. Repairs and sealing are scheduled in these windows, by sections, with traffic kept moving.
Materials for lasting repairs on Isla Mujeres
Materials and equipment cross on the cargo ferry from Cancún; hot mix cannot wait long, so concrete and pavers are often chosen, and the crossing adds cost to every truck. We choose hot mix, concrete or pavers for each repair according to this supply situation.
Permits and authorities on Isla Mujeres
The municipality of Isla Mujeres issues licences; the island has protected areas, reef and turtle rules, and heavy vehicle access is restricted, so works must be planned with the municipality.
Ground conditions on Isla Mujeres
The island is narrow limestone and sand exposed to sea on both sides; road edges suffer from salt and waves, and bases need good drainage to survive storms.
