Executive Summary
LithTec™-soil retains full strength after more than 6 hours time to compaction vs. Cement-soil which loses over 10% after 2 hours, over 50% after 4 hours, and over 75% after 6 hours time to compaction, compared to cement-soil’s strength at 1.5 hours time to compaction.
A. Road Bases Superior to Traditional Designs
- High structural credits allowed in designs to reduce materials and lower cost
- Extend time to work soil with superior results
- Applicable for use under any surface - asphalt, concrete, chip seal
B. Unprecedented Combination of Benefits
- Low and slow permeability High strengths
- High ductility (stress/strain)
- High strengths
- Passes EPA Method 1312 (no harmful chemicals leach into the environment)
- Low shrink/swell characteristics
C. Value Engineered Projects
- Recycle materials already paid for
- Eliminates waste – reduces costs for removal or replacement of failing materials
- Faster production times reduce overall project length and cost
- Performance based specifications that include design criteria for permeability and ductility
- Better product with lower lifecycle costs
New Stabilized/Chemically Modified Class: LITHIFIED SOIL
Backed by Comprehensive Test Bank - Future Performance Indicators
Lithified Soil Structural Base Design Projects Uses a Design Bank that Tests:
- Design bank testing exposes weak spots
- Cement, geo-textiles, lime, polymers may excel at one or another but no other product has demonstrated it meets all 5 minimum requirements
