Municipalities

Municipalities are sometimes faced with high costs for the construction, management and maintenance of structures and roads. Besides, the costs for unpaved roads are high and these dirt roads often cause inconvenience due to dust and holes in the road surface. GeoCrete® offers an alternative. This innovative technique transforms the available soil into good foundation materials. The new paved surface has a natural look and the road surface does not wash away during heavy rainfall.

GeoCrete® for municipal roads Another smart use of the GeoCrete® cement additive involves road widening or the creation of foundations under roads. The soil does not have to be removed and the road is only closed for a very short time. Existing used materials can be included in the process. This gives rise to the stable retention of any stone revetment of grass concrete blocks and the sides of the road. The higher elasticity improves the force distribution. This prevents damage under the road, on the sides of the road and in the structure.

Applications

dirt roads and rural roads
foundations under asphalt roads
widening roads by stabilising the verge
roads, cycle paths and maintenance roads around dykes
foundations for temporary or permanent buildings (event sites)
natural paved surfaces such as roads to wind turbines and plot paths
temporary crane positions
industrial sites, including optimisation of the structure and subsidence prevention
creation of foundation plateaus using the available soil
solutions for failure mechanisms on dikes
paved surfaces and structures that bear heavy loads, such as container terminals, lorry parks
