Enduro-35 Benefits
When comparing conventional road designs to roads constructed with soil-cement stabilization utilizing Enduro-35, you can achieve equal to or greater structural capacity utilizing significantly less materials, as well as thinner sections.
With a structural coefficient that is approx. two times that of gravel, 300 mm of soil-cement stabilization with Enduro-35, is equal to roughly 600 mm of base course.
Key Differences:
- By creating structural capacity utilizing the in-situ soils, stabilization with Enduro-35 significantly reduces your excavation requirements (from 550mm down to only 15mm)
- As excavation requiprements are reduced, project completion times are shortened, which saves money on the overall project budget.
- By reducing the amount of excavation required on a project, you are directly reducing the number of dump trucks and amount of disposal needed. This provides a significant reduction in Greenhouse Gas emissions (GHG) leading to a greener, more sustainable project.
Conventional Road Design
| Layer | Coefficient | Thickness (mm) | Structural Number (Sn) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Asphalt Pavement | 0.40 | 50 | 20 |
| Base Course Gravel | 0.14 | 200 | 28 |
| Sub-Base Course Gravel | 0.10 | 300 | 30 |

Soil-Cement Stabilization with Enduro-35
| Layer | Coefficient | Thickness (mm) | Structural Number (Sn) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Double Layer Chipseal | 0.35 | 15 | 5.25 |
| Soil-Cement Stabilization | 0.25 | 300 | 75 |
| Total | 80.25 |
* Could use asphalt at 50mm instead of chipseal if preferred, resulting in a total structural number of 95.
