    STABILISATION

    EXTEND THE LIFE OF YOUR PAVEMENT WITH STABILISATION BY PAVECON SOLUTIONS

    Pavecon Solutions specialises in Road Pavement Stabilisation which is a process that rebuilds worn out road pavements by recycling the existing roadway.


    Old wearing surfaces and base materials are pulverised using a specialised machine called a Stabiliser (also called a ‘Rotavator’). Water is added to the pulverised material to reach the optimal moisture content for compaction and then a variety of materials, such as dry cement, lime or fly ash may be incorporated (using a Spreader truck). The Stabiliser then mixes all the materials together, and lays the mix down back onto the road.


    After shaping and grading, the new base is compacted to produce a strong, durable base for either an asphalt or bitumen surface.

    WHY IS STABILISATION IMPORTANT?

    Stabilisation improves soil strength and increasing resistance to softening by water through bonding the soil particles together, water proofing the particles or combination of the two.


    The objective is to improve strength, reduce soil plasticity and lower compressibility which means that the life of your road or driveway will be extended with less likelihood of pavement failure due to pavement base and sub-base failures.


    Since this method recycles the materials in situ (in position), there is no need to haul in roadbase (unless road shape correction is required) or haul out old material for disposal. The vehicle movements are reduced and there is no need for detours since it can be done under traffic control, making this process more convenient for local residents.
