We love problematic ground/foundations
For difficult groundworks and foundation base problems we at PowerCem are happy to provide sensible sustainable engineered answers. Constructing an 80 tonne per m2 crane platform from wet alluvium in-situ soils, designing a crack free large, shed settlement free subbase in 4m of in-situ PFA. These and similar stabilisation challenges require different thinking and a […]
When you use RoadCem zeolite soil stabilisation, just treat the topsoil’s & with no surface course needed reinstatement is easy, as this video shows it is actually boring.
Zeolites can improve the performance of cement
Zeolites react with Ca(OH)2 producing a second phase of calcium silicate hydrate, this increases the density and improves the microstructure of the final product. Our design of synthetic Zeolites can do so much more. Please read: The Nano crystallization process is created by applying a mixture of soil of any kind
Recycle, Reuse, Repurpose the new three R’s
PowerCem work with RoadCem soil stabilisation all over the World, but the Amazon region of Brazil is the most challenging.
Challenges in the Construction of Highways in the Brazilian Amazonia Environment
Panama Canal chose RoadCem
If you are carrying out any flood protection or reservoir construction works. Consider a RoadCem stabilised soil base, the construction company that built the new deep water locks did and here is why: Panama Canal
Easy sustainability gains using RoadCem in highways/infrastructure & temporary works.
Easy sustainability gains using RoadCem in highways/infrastructure & temporary works Sustainability has become the watchword for the UK construction industry over the last few years. It can mean different things to different people, organisations, and regulatory authorities. In the specific area of soil stabilisation, it has become synonymous with reducing the embodied CO2 within the […]
Reduce costs, carbon and construction time.
Obviously constructing a bound soil road base from just the pre-existing site soils will never be as strong as a traditional design highway. It will reduce costs, carbon and construction time but will never be as durable. Wrong !!! Have a look at this Arcadis research and testing report. Road deflection tests
Used correctly Zeolites improve the performance of concrete
The question we are asked most often is “What are Zeolites and why do you use them in your range of cement modification products?” The simple answer is because they work, the longer answer is that we have over 25 years experience with zeolites. It is essential that the right type and the correct dosage […]
A RoadCem soil crane platform can be 12x stiffer than a stone equivalent.
Soil stabilisation is a sustainable method for the construction of in-situ bound soil base for infrastructure applications. Where longer lasting and/or heavier loadings are required RoadCem is the proven answer. Just a 1% addition by weight of cement enables cement to become a far superior soil binder. Winner of multiple industry awards the Walton on […]
