The optimal stabilization method depends on several critical factors including road design specifications, material characteristics, traffic volume, and environmental requirements. Soil Solutions’ EBS (Engineered Base Stabilizer) provides superior performance for heavy traffic applications while meeting stringent environmental standards.

Soil Solutions can engineer EBS for layer stabilization as a cost-effective alternative to traditional methods, with particular advantages in environmentally sensitive areas. Soil Solutions has successfully implemented EBS technology in Conservation Areas and National Parks where environmental compliance is mandatory, proving its effectiveness for heavy-use roads without ecological compromise.

The Soil Solutions engineering approach includes comprehensive material testing to determine optimal mix designs that achieve required load-bearing specifications while maintaining environmental integrity. Our team has delivered heavy-traffic solutions for mining haul roads carrying loads exceeding 350 tons, industrial access roads, and high-volume rural highways.

EBS can also be used in Asphalt recycling.  This process mills the dilapidated asphalt in place and adds EBS and relays the material which results in a “Water -Resistant  Asphalt Surface “ that will be protected from water and erosion and will have a 10+ year life.  Allowing a very sustainable and cost effective method to upgrade Asphalt roads.

Traditional asphalt repaving and Soil Solutions’ asphalt recycling with EBS stabilization represent fundamentally different approaches to road rehabilitation—with recycling delivering superior performance, sustainability, and value.

Traditional Asphalt Repaving:

Process: Remove old asphalt (sometimes), import new aggregate for base repairs, apply new hot-mix asphalt overlay, and leave old base problems unaddressed.

Problems: Does not fix underlying base weaknesses, cracks reflect through new overlay within years, requires ongoing maintenance (crack sealing, patching), provides limited lifespan extension (5-10 years), and generates waste and consumes new resources.

Asphalt Recycling with EBS Stabilization:

Process: Pulverize existing asphalt and base together, mix with EBS stabilizers to create superior base, compact to create uniformly strong foundation, and apply new surface over engineered base.

Advantages: Fixes underlying base problems permanently, creates deep, stable foundation preventing future failures, delivers 30-40 year performance (triple traditional overlay), requires minimal maintenance over lifecycle, and uses existing materials (minimal waste, low environmental impact).

Performance Comparison:

Structural Integrity: EBS-stabilized recycling creates deep, uniformly strong bases versus thin overlays over weak bases, eliminates crack reflection by removing source of cracks, and handles heavy traffic loads without rutting or failure.

Longevity: Recycled roads with EBS last 30-40 years versus 5-10 years for traditional overlays, require virtually no maintenance versus ongoing crack sealing and patching, and avoid the reflection cracking cycle that plagues traditional repaving.

Environmental Performance: Recycling reuses 100% of materials versus hauling away waste and importing new materials, reduces carbon footprint 70-85% versus traditional methods, and eliminates landfill waste.

Asphalt roads typically deteriorate within 10-15 years, requiring expensive overlay, rehabilitation, or reconstruction. Soil Solutions’ Full Depth Reclamation with EBS stabilization extends road life by 10-20  years while dramatically reducing maintenance requirements.

Why Asphalt Roads Fail:

Base Layer Weakness: Most asphalt failures originate due to erosion and water ingress which compromises the integrity of the surface and sub-base layers.  This starts with hairline cracks and expands into cracks and collapse into potholes.

Water Infiltration: Asphalt is porous .  This porosity allows water to penetrate into the base, causing erosion, weakening, and accelerated failure.

Traffic Loading: Heavy traffic stresses weak bases, causing progressive deterioration, rutting, and eventual structural failure.

How Full Depth Reclamation Extends Road Life:

Superior Base Stabilization: FDR pulverizes the entire asphalt pavement plus underlying base material, creates a deep, homogeneous stabilized base (200-400mm), eliminates weak layers and structural deficiencies, and produces a uniformly strong foundation.

Water Resistance: EBS stabilization creates water-resistant base layer and surface wearing course  that prevent infiltration damage, eliminate erosion and weakening, and maintain structural integrity regardless of weather.

Load Distribution: Deep, uniformly stabilized bases distribute traffic loads effectively, eliminate rutting and deformation, and handle heavy traffic without structural distress.

Long-Term Performance:

Roads rehabilitated with FDR and EBS deliver 30-40 year design life (double traditional asphalt), require minimal maintenance (no crack sealing, no patching, no ongoing interventions), resist rutting and structural failure, and maintain smooth riding surfaces for decades.

Maintenance Reduction:

Operators report no crack sealing required, no pothole patching needed, no structural repairs, and minimal surface maintenance compared to traditional asphalt roads.

Recycled Asphalt Pavement (RAP) offers enormous sustainability benefits but creates technical challenges when incorporated into road construction. Soil Solutions’ EBS technology enables effective RAP utilization while ensuring excellent road performance.

The RAP Challenge:

Aged Binder: Old asphalt in RAP has oxidized and hardened, lacking the flexibility and binding properties of fresh asphalt. This makes RAP difficult to compact and prone to cracking.

Variable Quality: RAP quality varies depending on source, age, and original materials. Inconsistency creates construction challenges and performance concerns.

Mix Design Complexity: Incorporating RAP requires complex mix designs to account for existing asphalt content, aged binder properties, and variable aggregate characteristics.

How EBS Enables RAP Utilization:

Binder Rejuvenation: EBS reactivates aged asphalt binders in RAP, restoring flexibility and binding properties, improving compaction and workability, and creating durable, cohesive mixes.

Stabilization: EBS provides additional binding beyond rejuvenated asphalt, compensates for variable RAP quality, and ensures consistent performance regardless of RAP source.

Simplified Mix Design: EBS allows higher RAP percentages than traditional methods, reduces need for virgin materials, and creates robust mixes less sensitive to RAP variations.

RAP Incorporation Methods:

Full Depth Reclamation (FDR): Pulverize existing asphalt in place, mix with EBS stabilizers, create new base using 100% RAP, and achieve excellent structural performance.

Cold In-Place Recycling (CIR): Mill existing surface, mix milled RAP with EBS, compact to create recycled base layer, and apply new wearing surface.

Base Layer Construction: Incorporate RAP into base layers with EBS stabilization, reduce virgin aggregate requirements by 50-80%, and achieve superior base strength and durability.

Environmental Benefits:

Using RAP with EBS stabilization diverts asphalt from landfills (waste reduction), reduces virgin aggregate mining (resource conservation), lowers carbon emissions from material production and transportation, and creates circular economy for road infrastructure.

Performance Advantages:

Roads constructed with RAP and EBS demonstrate equivalent or superior structural performance to virgin materials, excellent durability and load-bearing capacity, resistance to cracking and rutting, and long-term maintenance-free performance.

Reflective cracking—where cracks in old pavement propagate through new overlays—is the primary cause of premature overlay failure. Traditional methods provide only temporary solutions. Soil Solutions’ approach eliminates reflective cracking permanently.

The Reflective Cracking Problem:

Crack Propagation: Cracks in the old pavement base create stress concentrations. As the base moves (from traffic loads, temperature changes, or moisture), these stresses transfer upward through the new overlay, creating new cracks directly above old ones.

Traditional “Solutions” Fail: Crack sealing before overlay only delays the problem (cracks reappear within months), fabric interlayers provide minimal benefit (cracks still propagate within 1-2 years), and thick overlays only delay cracking (eventually all cracks reflect through regardless of thickness).

Why Traditional Overlays Can’t Stop Reflective Cracking:

The fundamental problem is that overlays leave the cracked base in place. As long as the old cracks exist beneath the surface, reflective cracking is inevitable—it’s only a question of when, not if.

Soil Solutions’ Permanent Solution:

Eliminate the Cracks at Their Source: Full Depth Reclamation (FDR) with EBS stabilization pulverizes the entire existing pavement structure, completely destroying all existing cracks. Mix the pulverized material with EBS stabilizers, creating a new, monolithic base with no pre-existing cracks. Compact to create uniformly strong, crack-free foundation.

Create Crack-Resistant Base: EBS stabilization creates flexible, durable bases that resist crack formation, distribute stresses uniformly (eliminating stress concentrations), and maintain structural integrity under traffic and temperature cycling.

Apply New Surface: With all old cracks eliminated and a crack-resistant base created, new surface applications last for decades without reflective cracking.

Proven Performance:

Roads rehabilitated with FDR and EBS show zero reflective cracking years after construction, smooth surfaces maintained for decades, no crack sealing or patching required, and superior lifecycle performance versus traditional overlays.

Long-Term Economics:

While FDR costs more initially than simple overlay, eliminating reflective cracking means no crack sealing, no early overlay failure, no repeated rehabilitation cycles, and dramatically lower total cost of ownership over the road’s lifecycle.

Eliminate reflective cracking permanently. Soil Solutions delivers proven crack-free road solutions: www.soilsolutions.com

Soil Solutions’ EBS Surface Seal completely eliminates dust on gravel roads without any watering requirements. The treatment creates a hard, durable, water-resistant surface that binds all fine particles permanently, preventing dust generation under all traffic conditions.

Old, failing asphalt roads traditionally require complete reconstruction—demolition, removal and hazardous waste removal and storage and rebuilding compromised layerworks and new surfacing.

Soil Solutions’ asphalt recycling technology rehabilitates deteriorated roads by recycling the existing pavement in place, adding EBS and relaying in place delivering a now water resistant asphalt surface with a 20 + year life at a fraction of the cost.

Cold In-Place Recycling (CIR) Process:

Milling and Pulverization: The existing asphalt pavement is milled or pulverized to specified depth (typically 75-150mm), breaking it into uniform particles while leaving it in place.

On-Site Mixing:  EBS is mixed with the reclaimed asphalt in place  creating a new stabilized base layer.

Compaction: The recycled mixture is compacted to specified density, creating a new water resistant surface with excellent structural properties.

Advantages Over Traditional Reconstruction:

Cold In-Place Recycling eliminates complete demolition and removal, uses 95% existing materials (minimal waste generation), reduces material hauling dramatically (reduced emissions and traffic disruption), enables faster construction (roads reopen quicker), provides extended pavement life (20-30 additional years), and delivers superior environmental profile (minimal waste, reduced carbon footprint, resource conservation).

When CIR Is Appropriate:

Cold In-Place Recycling works best when asphalt surface has deteriorated (cracking, raveling, surface distress), base layer remains structurally sound, drainage is adequate.

Traditional asphalt repair and reconstruction generates massive waste, consumes enormous resources, and produces substantial carbon emissions. Soil Solutions’ asphalt recycling represents a truly sustainable alternative.

Environmental Impact of Traditional Reconstruction:

Massive Waste Generation: Traditional reconstruction requires removing tons of old asphalt per kilometer—often sent to hazardous material landfills where it occupies space for decades. Base materials are also discarded, creating total waste streams tons per project.  Having a high carbon footprint, and negative environmental impact.

New Material Consumption: Reconstruction requires tons of virgin aggregate per kilometer, requiring quarrying, processing, haulage and laying. New asphalt production requires high-temperature processing and petroleum-based materials.  Having a high Carbon footprint.

Carbon Emissions: Demolition equipment operation, thousands of truck trips hauling waste and materials, aggregate quarrying and processing, and asphalt production at high temperatures all generate substantial CO₂ emissions.

Soil Solutions’ Sustainable Asphalt Recycling:

Zero Waste Generation: 100% of existing materials are reused in place—no landfill waste, no disposal costs, and no environmental impact from waste transportation and disposal = Sustainable Solution.

Minimal New Materials: Only small amounts of recycling agents and additives are required. No aggregate mining, no resource depletion, and preservation of natural materials for future generations.

Dramatic Emission Reductions: In-place recycling eliminates 90-95% of truck traffic, requires no high-temperature asphalt production, uses minimal energy beyond recycling equipment, and delivers carbon footprint reductions of 70-85% versus reconstruction.

Sustainable Performance:

Recycled roads deliver equivalent or superior lifespan compared to traditional reconstruction (20-30 years), require less maintenance over their lifecycle, and can be recycled again at end of life—creating true circular economy for road infrastructure.
