Page 2 - RoadCem Working Platforms for Piling Case Studies

Mats for piling must be safe to access and to use, piling is in most cases specified because the

existing soils and sub strata are considered weak or prone to settlement.

With its high e-modulus providing stiffness a thin RoadCem soil piling mat can bridge most weaknesses in the sub
strata reducing the risk of settlement and because RoadCem mats can be built from the pre-existing soils or other
waste materials at the site. It is usually the most cost effective option and certainly the most sustainable.

RoadCem provides one of the most risk-free piling mat options, we will always offer soil testing before and
during construction to ensure that design to specification is provided for every application.

Our team partners Rodgers Leask Consulting Engineers can also provide certification and warrantees for your
rig operators.

“ The results show that the inclusion of 1% RoadCem increases undrained shear strength and reduces swell of
the treated soils due to encapsulation effects associated with the formation of the crystalline reaction product
in the the hydration process and the resulting modification of the cementitious product to bind very heavy
clays together.”

Cement stabilisation forms strong, but
brittle bonds by gluing soil particles
together.

RoadCem wraps around the soil particles

allowing weak previously unsuitable
soils and materials to be bound into a
strong flexural mass.
