International news and achievements of StabilRoad© technology partners worldwide

StabilRoad© technology and additives have also been used by our dealers in Germany, Italy, Poland, Argentina, Japan, Thailand and other countries. StabilRoad technology continues to demonstrate its global impact by providing innovative solutions for sustainable and resilient infrastructure.

Germany

We are honored that StabilRoad© technology played an important role in the extensive reconstruction and renovation of Germany’s largest and longest highway, the Autobahn A7, between 2018 and 2022. The A7 is 962 kilometers long and is an important north-south transport corridor. Against the backdrop of increased axle loads due to the expansion of the European Union, StabilRoad© technology was used to stabilize and reconstruct more than 400 kilometers of this important route.

Italy

StabilRoad© technology played a key role in the extensive reconstruction projects of Italy’s Autostrada A1, one of the country’s most important highways. This 759-kilometer route, which stretches from Milan to Rome, benefited significantly from the durability and efficiency of StabilRoad©, underscoring its value in Italy’s critical transport infrastructure.

Poland

The quality of road construction in Poland has developed significantly in recent decades. The quality of new and renovated roads is among the best in Europe. StabilRoad© technology has played a significant role in this progress. Our partners in Poland have used StabilRoad© to stabilize the base layers, contributing to the durability and longevity of the roads built on these layers.

Argentina

StabilRoad© is proud to be able to contribute to the extensive infrastructure rehabilitation projects in the Buenos Aires region. In addition to road construction, our technology supports the development of large industrial areas in green areas. Buenos Aires has a humid subtropical climate with temperatures ranging up to 43 °C in summer and -5 °C in winter. StabilRoad© performs consistently under these extreme conditions, ensuring a durable infrastructure.

Japan

StabilRoad© technology is recognized for its contribution to high quality infrastructure projects in Japan. In the seismically active Yokohama area, our technology has been used in the rehabilitation and reuse of industrial areas, port facilities and road networks. Japan’s infrastructure requires earthquake resistance, and the unmatched quality of StabilRoad© provides the necessary safety and durability.

Thailand

StabilRoad© technology has been used in numerous projects in Thailand, including the construction of new highways in the Buri Ram region, resulting in state-of-the-art infrastructure. More than 480 kilometers of highways have been built in various provinces, including Chiang Mai and Nakhon Ratchasima, improving the quality of life in rural areas. In the Bangkok metropolitan area, our rapid full-asphalt resurfacing technique allows roads to be reopened to traffic within 12 hours, improving access to hospitals and increasing road safety. This approach significantly reduces the carbon footprint of road construction, minimizes traffic congestion and improves air quality, especially in densely populated areas like Bangkok.

Stabilization of the Kolga-Jaani gravel test road section

Stabilization of the Kolga-Jaani gravel test road section

In July 2015, an important project was carried out in Kolga-Jaani, during which a test road section with a gravel surface was stabilized. The aim of the project was to improve the quality and durability of the road section, making it dust-free and stable and strong enough to withstand the traffic load of the area. Before the start of the project, the Kolga-Jaani road section was covered with gravel, which, as a dusty and unstable surface, did not meet the needs of local traffic.

The project used StabilRoad® technology, by which the existing pavement material (gravel, sand, clay) was mixed with cement and StabilRoad® additive to achieve the required stability. The thickness of the stabilized layer was 30 cm, which ensures sufficient stability and strength of the road. The first half of the section was immediately coated with a granite crushed-bitumen coating to test the durability and performance of the coating immediately after stabilization. The other half of the section was left uncovered for the winter to observe how the stabilized layer would withstand winter weather conditions. In autumn, the theme land was organized and ditches were dug to ensure effective drainage of rainwater. The following summer, the other half of the section was also covered with a granite crushed-bitumen coating.

Stabilization of the Kolga-Jaani gravel test road section was an important step in improving quality and durability. Thanks to the professional application of the Estonian Transport Board and StabilRoad® technology, the stabilized road section is now much more durable and user-friendly. This project shows how innovative and environmentally friendly solutions can significantly improve the quality and durability of infrastructure.
