Low R-values. High expansiveness. Moisture. Poor workability. Lack of compressive strength. When the soil you plan to build on is found to be unsuitable, the common recommendation is to excavate, remove and replace.

There's a better alternative. Instead of incurring high costs and lengthy delays, call in Pavement Recycling Systems (PRS). Our Stabilization Solutions Group will re-engineer your existing soil to provide a structurally superior sub-base that has the properties you need.

Is your project on solid ground? Test before you invest.

The best time to bring in our soil engineers is early on in the design engineering phase of your project. We work with your engineers to perform a battery of tests both on-site and in the lab to evaluate soil properties and condition. A recommendation is developed for a stabilization solution that includes the application of additives to permanently upgrade the structural properties of the soil.

Insure against the high costs of instability

A structure is only as stable as the soil that supports it. For example, expansive soils generate about $2 to $6 billion per year in damage to overlying structures. But that's long term. How about now? During construction, our contractor and agency clients have saved anywhere between 30% and 60% by cutting the expense of "remove and replace", reducing grading costs, and time savings of between 50% and 100%, depending on conditions.

PRS: Advanced chemistry and engineering

Your PRS Stabilization Solutions team has built a track record based on expertise in the latest technology. We use chemical stabilizers such as lime and cement in the right combinations to upgrade structural value and workability. Ask us for the latest engineering data.

Green and government approved.

PRS soil stabilization techniques are environmentally sound because they rehabilitate and preserve in-place soils; and cut down the inherent resource-waste and air pollution of import/export alternatives. The processes are approved and specified by the FAA, FHWA, ASTM, Caltrans, and Greenbook, along with many local agencies. We work both directly and through our contractor customers who are among the top companies in the West.

High performance, lower cost, environmentally sound.

• Structural value: Reduced expansion, higher R-value and strength, improved workability and compaction, and lower permability.
• Economics: minimizes import-export cost and reduces structural section. Pre-planning prevents costly surprises now and later.
• Environmental: Reclaims in-place soil, conserves resources. Fewer truckloads in and out (up to 40-to-1) means less pollution and less impact on residents and businesses.
