Midwest believes in engineering soil stabilization methods that help you achieve safe, effective, and environmentally friendly road stabilization that achieves your operation’s top concerns.
Our NaturalPave® Road Stabilization system is designed to increase the performance, strength, and longevity of unpaved roads. Applied to the upper four to six inches of a road’s surface, this solution stabilizes native or in-situ soils by addressing both surface and base layers.
We take it even further by formulating NaturalPave into five distinct soil stabilization methods to meet a broad range of customer concerns like extended road life, fines preservation, lower maintenance cost and work, longer and enhanced durability, and necessary cost-effectiveness to help customers like you find the perfect fit for your requirements.
1. Fines Preservation: Dust Control at its Finest
If your number one priority in choosing between soil stabilization methods is keeping the road on the road, Fines Preservation is the NaturalPave formulation you need. This system is applied to a prepared road in order to keep the road in its “as-constructed” condition.
As NaturalPave penetrates and coats aggregate in the road, it bonds itself to aggregate and fines, keeping them locked together. This molecular reaction makes this solution one of the most precise soil stabilization methods for preventing gravel and fine particles from escaping the road’s surface.
2. Road Stabilization: Stronger Soil Composition
Another objective of soil stabilization methods is strengthening the composition of native soils and aggregates. Inconsistencies in soil composition result in rutting, potholes, and wash boarding which are not just hindrances, but also serve as surface level clues that point towards your road’s inner weaknesses.
Midwest’s Road Stabilization uses the molecular science of NaturalPave with special engineering that doesn’t just halt instability but improves the structural capacity of your unpaved road using its existing materials. Among our other soil stabilization methods, Road Stabilization increases a road’s ability to take on extreme traffic demands with increased operational safety, reduced maintenance and repair needs, and an aesthetically appealing, smooth surface.
3. Sub-Base Stabilization: A Longer Life with Lower Maintenance
NaturalPave’s Sub-Base Stabilization formulation targets improving the structural capacity of the in-place materials to prepare them for placement of aggregate, chip seal or asphalt paving. This solution specifically focuses on strengthening the base of your unpaved road, it heightens the durability and longevity of the surface whether asphalt overlay, chip seal, or embedded aggregate surface.
By supporting the structural integrity, the Sub-Base Stabilization solution multiplies the lifespan of your unpaved road, allowing for a high volume of traffic with less maintenance and repair needs through its extended lifecycle. And for a remote operation or community, that combination of advantages makes it priceless among other soil stabilization methods.
4. Advanced F.D.R: Reclaim your Unpaved Road
Endurance is a critical factor in the creation of any unpaved road, especially with intense stress from high-volume daily traffic. If your roadway is failing to withstand the day-to-day vehicle traffic, Full Depth Reclamation (FDR) is #4 of Midwest’s soil stabilization methods that can regenerate its durability and capacity to handle traffic.
Advanced FDR creates a renewed foundation that achieves long lasting durability that can withstand the heaviest traffic loads.
5. Alternative to Asphalt: Results with Budget in Mind
Among our NaturalPave soil stabilization methods, our Alternative to Asphalt delivers proven results at a reduced cost. This system operates by substituting hot mix asphalt or chip seal with stabilized recycled asphalt grindings. By using this alternative material, you can sustain a high-quality, durable unpaved road without the price of total reconstruction. As an effective road solution, Alternative to Asphalt is especially ideal for low volume roads and parking areas.
ATA is also ideal for reconstructing the road through in-place recycling of existing flexible pavement roadways. By incorporating this specialized solution into the existing asphalt surface and its underlying base through the reclamation process, Midwest achieves a stronger, more uniform and moisture resistant road.
Address what Matters Most with NaturalPave Soil Stabilization Methods
With Midwest, we are committed to soil stabilization methods with proven results, even if that means tailoring solutions like NaturalPave to meet your most specific needs. Throughout our soil stabilization family of solutions, there are certain features we guarantee will shine in every product.
It takes molecular precision to address concerns as imperceptible as dust fines. That’s why Midwest grounds every solution, including NaturalPave and its five soil stabilization methods, in science-based technology. This chemistry focus enables our lineup of products to provide unmatched dust control and soil stabilization that is entirely environmentally friendly.
