Technology: Recycling and Soil Stabilization

Discover the operating principles and technical components of recycling and soil stabilization. Learn all about the wide range of cold and hot recycling applications and learn more about our environmentally friendly soil stabilizers.

Soil stabilizers convert ground of insufficient bearing capacity into soil that is highly suitable for placing and compacting. The soil is improved by mixing in lime, and is strengthened using cement. Our stabilizers can handle a wide range of soil enhancement and stabilization tasks, including the construction of roads, parking lots, industrial facilities, airfields, port facilities, and railroad tracks. They are also suitable for various earthworks such as the construction of dams, embankments and backfilling.

Cold Recyclers And Stabilizers

The method enables the in-place re-use of up to 100% of the existing soil. This minimizes truck movements and the associated emissions. In short: We have been able to impress increasing numbers of customers around the globe with the effectiveness and efficiency of this process.

Soil Stabilization

• shortens construction times
• can contribute to conservation of resources
• can reduce reliance on landfill sites for material disposal
• reduces the number of transports to the construction site
• reduces the amount of binding agent required
• can contribute to a reduction of carbon emissions, particularly CO₂

In cold recycling, damaged asphalt layers are milled and crushed, rebound through the addition of binding agents, compacted, and repaved. WIRTGEN’s cold recyclers are suitable for use in all performance classes – from recycling thin asphalt layers on secondary roads with little traffic to recycling thick asphalt layers on highly frequented motorways that must withstand significant loads.
