PowerCem work with RoadCem soil stabilisation all over the World, but the Amazon region of Brazil is the most challenging.
Challenges in the Construction of Highways in the Brazilian Amazonia Environment
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
Used correctly Zeolites improve the performance of concrete
The question we are asked most often is “What are Zeolites and why do you use them in your range of cement modification products?” The simple answer is because they work, the longer answer is that we have over 25 years experience with zeolites. It is essential that the right type and the correct dosage […]
A RoadCem soil crane platform can be 12x stiffer than a stone equivalent.
Soil stabilisation is a sustainable method for the construction of in-situ bound soil base for infrastructure applications. Where longer lasting and/or heavier loadings are required RoadCem is the proven answer. Just a 1% addition by weight of cement enables cement to become a far superior soil binder. Winner of multiple industry awards the Walton on […]
Expansive plastic subgrades, expensive granular materials & flooding risks.
Expansive plastic subgrades, expensive granular materials and risks of flooding are all familiar problems for the highways engineer here in the UK. Highway construction engineers in the Brazilian Amazon region face similar problems, but have found different solutions.

What is the difference between Cement stabilisation and stabilisation with RoadCem added?
What is the difference between Cement stabilisation and stabilisation with RoadCem added? When stabilising soils with cement the hydration reactions are characterized by an early heat release after the initial mixing, then a dormancy period of about two hours in which no heat is released. After this during a 2 to 3 hour period further […]
Dredged sludge to Flexible cement bound material with PowerCem see report by Delft University
Contaminated Dredged Sludge Moerdijk Harbour Project 2008/9 Carried out by Arcadis BV The sandy sludge dredged during the Moerdijk Harbour reconstruction in 2008 was found to be highly contaminated by oil and a cocktail of hazardous pollutants. A big problem with these and other dredged sludge’s is that the water content in the sludge is […]
