The problem with sewage.

Silo Bases

With the excellent documentary by Paul Whitehouse on TV weekend, which identified problems with effluence entering UK rivers and water courses. The need for water utilities to invest in updating sewage treatment facilities has been truly highlighted. The unique water and acidproof properties of RoadCem in-situ soil stabilisation, together with its crack free leachate proof […]

Improved Car Park Construction Methodology

Car park construction by traditional methods is unsustainable and unnecessarily excessive in carbon emissions. A fit for purpose design utilising just the pre existing site soils can be far more more durable and much lower in long term maintenance costs. RoadCem is a superior road base technology, up to twelve times stiffer than a crushed […]

We love problematic ground/foundations

For difficult groundworks and foundation base problems we at PowerCem are happy to provide sensible sustainable engineered answers. Constructing an 80 tonne per m2 crane platform from wet alluvium in-situ soils, designing a crack free large, shed settlement free subbase in 4m of in-situ PFA. These and similar stabilisation challenges require different thinking and a […]

Zeolites can improve the performance of cement

Zeolites react with Ca(OH)2 producing a second phase of calcium silicate hydrate, this increases the density and improves the microstructure of the final product. Our design of synthetic Zeolites can do so much more. Please read: The Nano crystallization process is created by applying a mixture of soil of any kind

Panama Canal chose RoadCem

If you are carrying out any flood protection or reservoir construction works. Consider a RoadCem stabilised soil base, the construction company that built the new deep water locks did and here is why:  Panama Canal

Easy sustainability gains using RoadCem in highways/infrastructure & temporary works.

Easy sustainability gains using RoadCem in highways/infrastructure & temporary works Sustainability has become the watchword for the UK construction industry over the last few years. It can mean different things to different people, organisations, and regulatory authorities. In the specific area of soil stabilisation, it has become synonymous with reducing the embodied CO2 within the […]

Reduce costs, carbon and construction time.

Obviously constructing a bound soil road base from just the pre-existing site soils will never be as strong as a traditional design highway. It will reduce costs, carbon and construction time but will never be as durable. Wrong !!! Have a look at this Arcadis research and testing report. Road deflection tests
