Base Stabilizing​


To further add structural strength to the load bearing capacity of the road a base stabilization method would be applied. This will help support increased traffic loads and extend the life of the asphalt pavement. Various methods of stabilizing are used to benefit the different types of base material found on existing roadways, new road construction, parking lots and building sub-bases

Super-Heated Liquid Asphalt Cement

The most common method of base stabilizing is the application of super-heated liquid asphalt cement mixed with the existing pulverized pavement structure or a gravel base. This process is performed by using a multi-drum mixing machine, producing a high strength flexible base, which in turn helps water proof the base, and renders it less susceptible to frost action, cracking and moisture damage. Stabilizing will reduce asphalt thickness requirements to meet structural strength specifications.

​We utilize a multi-drum mixer, instead of a single drum, to ensure a complete and even mixture of aggr​egate and additive. 

Structure Coefficients for Various Road Materials
  • Sand .08 - .10 per inch
  • Gravel .12 - .14 per inch
  • Asphalt Stab Base .25 - .30 per inch
  • Base Course Asphalt .30 - .35 per inch
  • Top Course Asphalt .38 - .42 per inch

Soil Cement, Lime Stabilization

The other types of stabilizing are soil cement and lime stabilization. These methods are used when clay and unstable soils are found in the base material. These unstable soils are laboratory tested. A determination can be made for the type of binder to be used and the amount needed to strengthen and meet the required compaction of the base material.
We would appreciate the opportunity to assist you in evaluating your particular problems and in determining the best and most cost-effective solution.
Sincerely,
