Technology: Recycling and soil stabilisation

Discover the processes and technical components of recycling and soil stabilisation. Learn more about the wide range of cold and hot recycling applications and our soil stabilisers.

Soil stabilisers convert ground with insufficient load-bearing capacity into soil that is highly suitable for paving and compaction. Added lime improves the existing soil, while added cement strengthens it. Our stabilisers can handle a wide range of soil enhancement and stabilisation tasks, including the construction of roads, car parks, industrial facilities, airfields, port facilities and railway lines. They are also suitable for various earthworks such as the construction of dams, embankments and backfilling.

The advantages of stabilisers

The process enables the re-use of up to 100% of the existing material in-place This minimises transport movements and the associated emissions In short, We have been able to convince more and more people around the globe about the clear benefits of using this process.

soil stabilisation

• shortens construction times
• Can contribute to the conservation of resources
• Can reduce the need for larger landfill sites
• Reduces the number of truck movements to and from the construction site
• Reduces the amount of binding agent required
• Can contribute to a reduction of harmful emissions, in particular 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.
