Lower carbon ground engineering for water infrastructure
How better use of existing site soils can help water infrastructure teams reduce material movement, carbon & programme risk Lower carbon ground engineering for water infrastructure AMP8 will place greater pressure on water infrastructure teams to deliver resilient assets with tighter control over cost, carbon, logistics & programme risk. For water-only companies, this means more […]

RoadCem Nano Technology
During my original post which generated a lot of discussion mention was made to RoadCem as ‘Pixy Dust’ which I believe was originally a reference to our claim to be introducing Nano Technology into soil stabilisation. Perhaps an explanation could be useful. As the grain size of a fine-grained material decreases, the total exposed surface […]

One last Banks Beer
I lost my wife before Christmas after a couple of years of illness. It got me thinking about planning. Without anything to plan for motivation is hard to muster and things are just not going to get done. Sometimes though planning can be a hindrance to success, and I am I am thinking about HS2 […]
CBR testing for cement stabilised soils
California Bearing Ratio (CBR) testing has become the most common way to evaluate the strength and bearing capacity of subgrades and base courses in foundation and pavement design. Whilst CBR testing is a valuable tool for specific applications, it has important limitations when used for testing cement stabilised soils. Engineers should consider alternative testing methods. […]
The Problems with stone piling mats
Problems with stone piling mats Piling mats are often used in construction to distribute loads and provide a stable work surface for heavy equipment to operate. However, several potential problems can arise with their use: Soil Compression: If the underlying soil is not adequately prepared or is overly compressible, piling the mat can lead to […]

ConcreCem Nano additive for adding durability to concrete performance
Essentially, we at PowerCem love to tackle durability. The durability of PowerCem products reduce the high costs associated with maintenance and repairs. To improve concrete resilience to degradation, PowerCem creates nanomaterials with a size range below 20 nm (0.02 microns), delivering chemical functionality increases long term durability. Materials with a sub 20 nm particle size […]
