Road Stabilization
Road Base Layer Stabilization
EM Green Provides the road technology Polymer Pavements based Smart Materials for road construction, low cost road seals, factory floors, dust control, barrier liners and spray-on geoliners for dams.
These Smart Materials includes in-situ material binders, soil modifiers, asphalt modifiers and elastomeric mortar admixtures.
Smart Materials challenges the core of conventional road construction and design, by bringing in unprecedented resilient modulus flexibility, which is required for Mechanistic-Empirical (ME) road designs. Smart Materials, reduces the number of supporting aggregate layers for cement modified/stabilized flexible and rigid road designs, and the re by substantially reducing construction costs.
Enhancing CBR
Road stabilizing polymers are elastomers, which gain strength from mechanical compaction and do not become brittle when cured. The elastomer is able to flex under load and unlike cement stabilization, will not crack under excessive loading – one aspect in reducing layer work in design phases.
Road stabilizers have been purposely designed to penetrate through the road’s base layer, into the sub-base layer, via capillary action. This sub-base strengthening process is of significant importance as we are not only stabilizing the road’s base layer, but also creating a semi-bound sub-base. From a road design perspective, a strengthened sub-base may negate the need for further layer-works. SoilTech, in many instances, transforms insitu materials that would normally be classified as unusable or waste materials, into suitably modified aggregates, for use in base and sub-base layer construction
