Sub-Base Stabilization
The sub-base layer is a crucial component in the construction industry, playing a vital role in foundation stability. It prevents the overstressing of subgrade, provides a platform for the wear course layer, and serves as a drainage filter. While the UCS (Unconfined Compressive Strength) of a soil sub-base is set at 250 psi by authorities in the United States, a low dosage of our soil-stabilizing polymers can easily help you achieve this standard. Our solutions excel in subgrade stabilization, creating a stable and durable foundation. Understanding soil mechanics is key to appreciating the effectiveness of our products in enhancing the overall pavement structure layers.
Our stabilization process adapts to various soil types, ensuring consistent performance across diverse geological conditions.
Binding Fine Particles
The movement of fine particles under the soil is a crucial factor in soil and road deterioration. Our polymer solutions at EP&A Envirotac, Inc. tackle this issue by targeting the soil at the nano level, interconnecting particles in a polymerized web. This process is essential for effective erosion control methods and foundation stabilization methods. By binding these fine particles, we significantly improve the soil’s structural integrity, a critical aspect of construction site preparation. This nano-level binding reduces water infiltration, enhancing the soil’s resistance to freeze-thaw cycles and hydraulic erosion.
Increase PSI
Adding our Soil Stabilization polymers to the sub-base significantly increases the load-bearing pressure of soils. Tests have shown increases in CBR of over 700% with certain soils. This remarkable improvement in soil strength is particularly beneficial for foundation stabilization and enhancing overall sub-base drainage capabilities.
The increased PSI translates to extended pavement life and reduced maintenance frequency, offering substantial long-term cost savings.
Conservation
By utilizing our soil for sub-base stabilization, you can avoid the expense of importing costly gravel. This approach not only reduces the need for gravel but also conserves this finite resource for future use. Our solutions offer an eco-friendly alternative to traditional cement-treated sub-base methods, promoting sustainable construction site preparation practices.
This conservation approach significantly reduces the project’s carbon footprint by minimizing impacts on transportation and material extraction.
Time and Money
Our polymer application process is straightforward and efficient, saving both time and money when treating kilometers of roads and paths. This method is particularly advantageous for large-scale application of road construction materials and foundation stabilization methods. The simplicity of our solution allows for quick implementation, significantly reducing project timelines.
The rapid application process can reduce construction time by up to 50% compared to traditional methods, accelerating project completion.
Does Not Leach
Our products are highly effective and durable. A single application remains intact for years, resisting water erosion. This longevity is crucial for maintaining foundation stability and ensuring the integrity of pavement structure layers over time.
The non-leaching property ensures consistent performance and eliminates the risk of soil and groundwater contamination.
Environmentally Friendly
Soil Stabilizing products at Envirotac, Inc. are specifically curated to be efficient and environment-friendly. Our solutions align with modern erosion control methods and sustainable soil stabilization techniques, offering an eco-conscious approach to construction site preparation and foundation stabilization. Our products are biodegradable and non-toxic, meeting stringent environmental standards while delivering superior performance.
