Soil Stabilization Improves Load Capacity on Unpaved Roads

Posted .

Unpaved roads play a wide variety of roles throughout the United States, as well as in developing countries. Many of these roads are responsible for the transportation of goods to job sites, mines and remote locations as well as remote communities.

When an unpaved roadbed is compromised by frost heaves, potholes and general degradation it can damage equipment and limit the safe transportation of heavy loads. This can have a profound negative impact on communities and operations that rely on these loads.

Here at EnviRoad®, we offer a comprehensive line of environmentally friendly products to aid in the maintenance of unpaved roads. This includes base stabilization agents like Earthbind® Stabilizer.

It was specially formulated from a versatile bituminous modified biopolymer to act as a cost-effective soil stabilization agent. Once it has been applied to a prepared unpaved roadbed and cured it will form an effective matrix between aggregate materials and small particles.

This will help to maintain the road’s structural integrity while also helping to control fugitive dust particles. It will not re-solubilize in rainwater allowing Earthbind® Stabilizer to maintain its presence for longer than other stabilizing and dust control agents.
