Much of North America is suffering higher frequency of heavy rainfall events. The sad news is that if you can’t keep water out of your road foundations, construction sites and earthwork structures, your infrastructure will fail the resiliency test. With extreme weather events now the rule, even areas currently in drought conditions will face extreme wet weather events including flash floods. There is the real likelihood of heavily saturated, washed out, or water-related damage to civil and transportation infrastructure if the aggregate and soil materials were not stabilized against moisture intrusion during initial construction.

The good news is stabilization product technology is available, at low cost, which is uniquely effective in converting water suctioning soils and aggregates into water-resistant and water-shedding materials. Treatment with EMC SQUARED System stabilizer products can make aggregates and soils more capable of retaining their load-bearing capacity and still able to pass the resiliency test after extreme wet-weather events. Keeping water out is the name of the game, and the hyperlinks to case and research studies below will demonstrate just how effective this innovative technology can be in the construction of more resilient infrastructure.
