Road Pavement & Soil Stabilization

Our lime products can also be a useful material in road construction and landscaping projects. The unique properties of lime allow it to be used for:

Soil Stabilization and Modification
Soil stabilization and modification are processes used to improve the engineering properties of soil, making it more suitable for construction purposes.  Lime and its derivatives can be added as a stabilizing agent to the soil to improve its strength, durability, and load-bearing capacity. The lime reacts with clay minerals in the soil to produce cementitious compounds, which can help to reduce the swelling and shrinkage of clay soils, making them more stable and less prone to cracking.

Asphalt Modification
Asphalt modification is an important application of hydrated lime in road construction. The addition of hydrated lime to asphalt can improve its properties, making it more resistant to rutting and cracking. Hydrated lime can increase the stiffness and strength of the asphalt, allowing it to better resist the stresses caused by heavy traffic. It can also improve the asphalt’s resistance to fatigue cracking, which can occur due to repeated loading and unloading of the pavement.
