Base Repair - Utah Department of Transportation   - Video VH-237I - Methods of correcting base failure are demonstrated. Each step of the procedure is shown: removing damaged pavement, determining the cause of the failure and the appropriate solution, placing and compacting base material, and placing and compacting bituminous mix.
