Ecoroad use stabilization technologies in a wide variety of road applications from roads that will remain unsurfaced to those that will receive surface treatments. Our Stabilization approaches include improving existing materials such as native soils, old graveled roads, and degraded asphalt over the contaminated base as well as maximizing potential road strength by blending in missing gradation or plastic components.
Unsurfaced roads
Our liquid enzyme soil stabilizers make it possible to use local soils " as is" to create roads that are intended to remain unsurfaced such as are commonly seen in rural, access, mining, logging agricultural rural, and village applications. Soils with existing gradation and plasticity can usually be improved, as can gravel roads or base materials contaminated with fines, and degraded asphalt roads that have reverted to "gravel".
Surfaced roads
Similarly, liquid enzyme soil stabilizers add performance to roads that will receive a surface treatment of Magnesium Chloride for total dust control. Stabilized bases can be given a surface seal of penetrating asphalt as weatherproofing for highly plastic clays or a surface binder for granular mixes. Single and double chip Surfaces or asphalt pavement are commonly placed over stabilized base or sub-base structures.
Liquid enzyme soil stabilizers are also a powerful way to use blends of local soils and amendments. This works particularly well when:
Increasing gravel content to support
increased traffic loads
Increasing plastic fines to lock up loose surface gravel
Supplementing gap- graded materials to increase strength and resistance to water penetration
Creating a high-strength base layer by mixing RAP from degraded or milled asphalt with a stabilized soil binder.
Roads that will receive a surface treatment
Asphalt pavement life can be greatly extended by stabilizing base and sub-base layers, whether local soils are used “as is”, or blended with amendments to improve gradation and plasticity.
Surface treatments on stabilized base materials
Liquid enzyme soil stabilizers add performance to roads that will receive a surface treatment of MgCl2 for total dust control. Stabilized bases can be given a surface seal of penetrating asphalt as a weatherproofing for highly plastic clays or a surface binder for granular mixes. Single and double chip surfaces, or asphalt pavement are commonly placed over a stabilized base or sub base structure.
Incorporating RAP
Our company uses a well-known technology in the road construction industry that consists of adding soil stabilizers with up to 50% of soil materials with recycled asphalt pavement (RAP). The combination of recycling (RAP) + stabilizer + soil has proven to be highly efficient as it includes four stabilization steps in one. Production rates above 50,000 square meters per day are achievable. This method increases strength and material uniformity in a stabilized bed which is immediately ready for shaping and compaction.
