Most of the water left over from this unique application reaction is induced to combine with the available soil minerals, forming permanent strong and hard accretions. The accretions build around the fine clay particles and fill the normally-present air voids or pockets. As these air voids are filled, the number of voids are reduced dramatically, and any voids remaining are nearly filled completely. EcoCrete has repeatedly displayed its outstanding ability to support compacted soil areas surfacing roads of 350 ton off-road vehicles. As mentioned, in most cases local materials such as the road itself as well as river and pit sources that otherwise would not work or be acceptable in conventional road construction, typically can be transformed into acceptable road building materials when bound tightly by EcoCrete treated cohesive clay fines.
EcoCrete roads stop dusting problems, washboard surface deformations and road ruts.
The water removal ditches on both sides of the crowned surface road are treated in the same way, with the same excellent results. EcoCrete stabilizing soil treatment permits applications ranging from steamy, wet jungles to hot, dry deserts to the frigid ends of the earth, all achieved at a fraction of the cost of making a normal asphalt road. With EcoCrete stabilized soil underneath, asphalt road surface performance is enhanced and improved. Pothole and rut formation are minimized, reducing the need for extensive repairs and extending the useful life of the asphalt road. The important aspect in itself aids in much more rapid application leading to full use of road, compared to competitive products.
