Cost Savings
Eliminate cost of materials (aggregate) for base layer.
Significantly cut labour and equipment time.
Reduce rework due to weather problems.
Less paving materials, thinner lifts, and longer life expectancy.
Reduce repair & maintenance costs.
No wheel path rutting.
No road corrugation.
No softening due to weather moisture fluctuations.
No anti-frost layer needed.
No geo-textile needed – permeable fabrics.
Excavation & transport savings for unsuitable materials.
Hazardous materials immobilization without disposal and landfill charges.
No anti-capillary layers (geotextile fabric etc.) needed.
Times Savings
One pass construction with appropriate equipment.
Fewer steps to completion.
All soil types (loam, clay, sandy, salty) suitable (except peat).
Can be laid in extreme wet (tropical) and cold (to -6o Celsius) conditions.
Excellent results in poor material conditions.
Structures can be anchored directly to slab.
Other construction elements can be modified to reduce costs.
Material Savings
No need to remove existing soil and bring in base layer materials.
Reduce cement requirements.
Emissions Reduction and Environmental Benefits
Not necessary to remove existing base material, no external aggregate necessary.
- Foundation or base layer for any type of infrastructure work.
- Modification of any type of soil.
- Completely recyclable, recycle failed pavements.
- Emissions reduction – lower carbon footprint as a result of:
- Less energy used in cement production – less cement required.
- Reduction or elimination of transport and production requirements of machinery and vehicles.
Non-toxic, 100% natural content – Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) available upon request.
Stronger
Important characteristics are amplified:
Higher compression strength.
Higher static and dynamic elastic modulus – sheering strength.
Addition of bending tensile strength.
High load and bearing capacity.
More Durable
Designed and built to last 20+ years.
Requires no major structural rehabilitation or reconstruction.
Periodic surface renewal required only if surface shows evidence of distress.
