Haul Road stabilization
is one of the types of applications where EMC SQUARED
System treatments are exceptional in performance,
appropriateness and cost-effectiveness. Contractors
can self-install using conventional construction
equipment with no need to hire specialty subcontractors
and specialized machinery to apply these water-borne
stabilizer products. Limited down time for haul
roads is required to complete the stabilization
application. Soils, aggregates and recycled pavement
mixtures stabilized with EMC SQUARED System treatments
benefit from the additional compaction of haul truck
traffic, becoming denser, stronger and more impermeable
surfaces under the continual loading. Haul Roads
constructed with EMC SQUARED System stabilizer applications
exhibit tightly bound and wear resistant surfaces
that reduce dust emissions. If an even higher level
of dust control is required, there are a variety
of dust palliative products that can be applied
with their effectiveness and durability enhanced
by placement on a highly stable running surface.
Since the EMC SQUARED System products are non-toxic,
Neutral pH and environmentally friendly (see U.S.
EPA National Estuary Program report on the Tests
& White Papers page of this website), they are
appropriate for projects in the most environmentally
sensitive locations. These stabilized aggregate
and soil materials can be removed and recycled for
use at other locations without concern in regards
to contaminants. EMC SQUARED Stabilized soils used
to construct haul roads through farm fields can
be returned to agricultural use after sufficient
pulverization and grade correction work has been
completed.
