Base Stabilization

Mixing aggregate materials and/or granular soils with carefully calculated amounts of portland cement and water that hardens after compaction to form a highly durable and resistant structural base to stand alone or support thin surface paving methods.

Future maintenance costs significantly reduced

  • Base Stabilization is an ideal solution for outdoor storage lots, parking lots, or industrial aggregate type yards
  • More durable than aggregate surface, and can withstand heavy truck and equipment traffic with less dust
  • Greatly reduces pothole and grading maintenance

Ideally suited for industrial applications, Base Stabilization typically costs less than concrete pavement or asphalt, and can support surface treatments such as chip seal, cape seal, various thin overlay systems, or traditional hot mix asphalt.

How It Works

A cement-treated base (CTB) typically is created by combining aggregate with Portland cement. This CTB road base effectively creates a stronger foundation. This is because it prevents wet subgrade soil from being forced up into the base by heavy traffic loads, as it does with traditional granular bases. Utilizing a cement-treated road base is a popular choice for many property owners and road managers because it is less expensive over the lifespan of the entire pavement cross-section, provides greater stability, and has a relatively low impact on the environment.
