Road conditioning and soil stabilization is a relatively new service to us. We are using a Wirtgen WS 2500 soil stabilizer towed by one of the Fendt tractors and has the following specs:

• First machine of its kind in North America
• 250hp tractor with stepless IVT transmission
• Working width of 2.50m (8.5ft)
• Working depth of up to 50cm (20in)
• No tramping over worked grade
• Very mobile and compact unit
• Capable of working in tough terrain
• Superior or equal capacity as a self-propelled unit
• More economical than self-propelled unit
• Liquid product injection system
• 50km/h road speed

General Applications of this Soil Stabilizer

• Mixing and blending of soil and/or surface materials with additives, called mixed-in-place process, mostly based on a cementitious stabilization
• Breaking up and milling asphalt surfaces for recycling process
• Blending existing road material with additional material up to 20" deep
• Preparing the ground for general construction purposes
• Levels the surface area, reverse erosion damage and control the erosion

Mixed-in-place Surface Stabilization of Dirt Roads

• Use of lime, cement, cement-kiln dust, synthetic stabilizing additives, or calcium chloride
• Use of ENTAC Solution for stabilizing and finishing gravel based roads to asphalt like condition
• Increases load carrying capacity, strength and shear stability
• Reduces swelling, plasticity and water contents
• Increases wear resistant of surface
• Substantially reduces costs because of less maintenance and longer life
• Reduces potholes, rutting, boiling, raveling, wash boarding and soft spots
• Reduction of water erosion damage on sloped roads
• Multi-year dust control with calcium chloride because it is incorporated instead of top spread
• Low to no impact on watersheds, fisheries, and habitats
• Typical applications are: gravel roads, gravel strips along highways, forest roads, biking and hiking trails, parking lots, storage areas, temporary construction roads and lane ways
• Lime stabilization is a proven process used for over 2000 years, some of the roads built by the Romans are still in use today

Mixed-in-place Subgrade Stabilization

• Use of lime, cement, cement-kiln dust, fly ash, or blends of those materials to stabilize subgrades in mixed-in-place process
• No replacements of subgrade material with course aggregated materials necessary - use of existing material as subgrade for construction process
• Reduce water contents, plasticity and swelling of subgrade to extend life of hard surfaced areas
• Reduce cracking and pot holes
• Increase load bearing capacity
• Tremendous cost savings in paved surface construction process
• Typical applications are: highways, municipal and county roads, railway tracks, parking lots, subgrade for building sites, subdivision roads, airports, and landing strips

Reblending of Dirt Road Materials

• Milling of dirt roads to reblend existing materials without adding stabilizing additives
• Mobile in place process

Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement

• Cold milling of asphalt surface: Chip and Tar, RAP and Hot Mix up to 4"
• Blending the asphalt layer with existing subgrade
• Addition of stabilizing additives is possible
• Recycling of existing material to create a foundation for hard surface roads or unbound surface roads

Crushing Asphalt Based Surfaces

• can crush Chip and tar, RAP, Hot Mix up to 4" and others
• Preparation for water main or other supply installations in towns
• Preparation for new road surface installation
• Converting asphalt based roads back to gravel based roads

Liquid Product Injection for Stabilizing Base and Sub Base

• Entac tall oil emulsion
• Calcium or Magnesium Chloride
• Salt Brine
• Oil based products like Essoflex 250
• Road Packer Plus synthetic stabilizer

Soil Drying

• Use of lime to reduce water contents in soils
• Surface applied lime is blended with existing soil which reduces the water contents and dries the soil so that it can be worked or be driven on
• Decreases drying time under wet conditions to convert soil into a usable condition to be used as a fill or to drive on
• Time saving process in time-sensitive applications

Services and Equipment:

• Wirtgen WS 2500 towed soil stabilizer
• Fendt 900 CVT tractors
• Tebbe spreader for spreading lime and lime based materials
• Uniblade graderblade
