Polyroad Polymer Soil Stabilisation

 

Electron microscope view of polymer particles.Polyroad stabilised pavements are designed to preserve the existing dry strength pavement properties and resist the ingress of water which is the major cause of pavement failure. Polyroad stabilisation achieves this outcome by a process of 'internal waterproofing' of fine grained particles by way of incorporating an insoluble dry powdered polymer.

 

Polyroad has been incorporated into pavements since 1988. Its first use was in Taree Airport runway, New South Wales, by the Federal Airports Corporation. Polyroad stabilised projects have occurred on State and National Highways throughout many parts of Australia in New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland, local roads in numerous Councils in New South Wales and Victoria, and parts of Asia.

 

Polyroad stabilisation has been found to significantly reduce the need for any form of future maintenance and offers a highly competitive whole-of-life-cycle cost scenario for all road owners.

 

Polyroad is manufactured by Polyroad Stabilising a division of Polymix Industries Pty Ltd.
