TerraCem®
About TerraCem
TerraCem is a specialized engineered blend of cementitious and other construction materials commonly used to improve the strength, volume stability, and durability of road base and/or sub-grade. TerraCem can be used effectively in soil drying, compaction, and stabilization and can reduce the shrink–swell potential of high plasticity clays, making otherwise problematic soils and materials a viable base or sub-grade material. Correct application improves shear strength and sub-grade support and reduces compressibility of both cohesive soils and granular materials.
Applications
Oil well working pads and access roads
Cement Treated Base*
Reclamation of pavement structure
Stabilization of aggregate bases
Stabilization of contaminated soils
Deep soil mixing for ground improvement
Cutter soil mix for ground improvement
Soil drying
Bridge Decks
PreCast
PreStress
High Durability Application
*where aggregate resources are scarce
Benefits
Utilization of site materials
Recycling existing pavement structure
Optimizes use/reuse of material, including cementitious materials
Saves energy and natural resources
Superior performance in clay-bearing soils
Chemically binds contaminants within the soil structure, reducing leaching
TerraCem is formulated to work with soils to meet the unique needs of the road building and soil treatment industries and is not suitable for use in concrete or concrete product applications
