What Is Soil Stabilization That's Environmentally Friendly

NATURAL METHODS ARE SECOND NATURE TO US.

Midwest always looks beyond efficacy, creating soil stabilization, dust control and other surface enhancement technology solutions that protect the delicate ecological balance so important for our health and wellbeing — today and into the future. As such, Midwest doesn’t simply offer a niche of green options. Instead, we've created “The Third Way,” technology that's advanced beyond out-of-date asphalt or gravel alternatives. Everything we make and everything we do reflects a devotion to the environment. Midwest NaturalPave surfacing alternatives all employ green materials and processes that deliver superior stabilization at the same time they protect the land, resources, wildlife and vegetation.

EMBEDDED AGGREGATE SURFACING

The green, NaturalPave chip-sealing process:

Utilizes a powerful binder covered with an aggregate to create natural stone colorations for a green, warm, visually-pleasing running surface

Produces lighter surfaces that are reflective and do not absorb heat

Constructs or restores a smooth running surface on newly-built or deteriorated roadways with excellent skid resistance

Applies by cold application which can be installed over a wider range of temperatures compared to asphalt chip

NATURAL ROAD SURFACE

Midwest's NaturalPave System provides "native" advantages:

Uses native materials as final wear course

May be constructed utilizing sub-standard in-place soils, where previously this was not possible without costly import of materials

A cold process which can be installed over a wider range of temperatures compared to asphalt surfacing

The most economical option in construction (in-place soils instead of hauled-in materials) and maintenance (improved aging-control reduces cracking and moisture damage)
