At Cem-Base, we believe that we have not inherited the earth from our forefathers but are borrowing it from our children’s future.
The transportation industry consumes the majority of the world’s material resources. Vast quantities of limestone, bitumen, and Portland cement are used for constructing roads, runways, and ports. At Cem-Base, we pride ourselves on reusing or recycling materials that are in place thereby reducing the amount of new materials which minimizes the environmental impact. Cem-Base achieves this through our stabilization and FDR processes. Traditional construction methods require more trucking to remove the existing materials on-site and bring in new, the production of new materials to replace the old, and space to landfill the old materials. Our processes can even help reduce the thickness of the stone base layers and the pavement layers, further reducing the need for new materials.
Our Expertise
Soil Stabilization
Soil Stabilization
Cem-Base soil stabilization is a fast-paced, efficient method for improving unstable soils. By mixing the appropriate admixture into your existing unstable soil, our process improves the soil's plasticity, compactibility, and bearing capacity—creating a much safer, more stable underpavement subgrade.
Soil Modification
Soil Modification
Soil modification changes undesirable characteristics in soils, like excessive elasticity, fat clay, and elastic silt. Treating unstable soils with the appropriate pozzolanic admixture can reduce your soil's destructive shrink/swell potential, simplifying paving and providing a stronger, longer-lasting roadway or structure.
Full-Depth Reclamation
Full-Depth Reclamation
Full-Depth Reclamation (FDR) is the process of pulverizing existing asphalt pavement and underlying base materials, followed by the addition of Portland cement or asphalt emulsion. The end product is a new road base with higher structural capacity, longer life, and is less costly than traditional road construction methods.
Lab Testing
Lab Testing
Cem-Base's Soil Testing Laboratory employs a broad range of soil testing equipment, allowing us to test and understand all you need to know about your soil and enabling our team to determine the precise admixtures necessary to minimize your costs and optimize your results.
