Renovation of roads Kamenice


Country
: Czech Republic
Location
: Kamenice
Year
: 2012
Product
: RoadCem

In the Czech city of Kamenice, nearby Prague, the application of the PowerCem technology was chosen on the basis of the successful, high-quality renovation of roads with an economic benefit of 30% in comparison with traditional methods.

 

The technology from PowerCem makes it possible to completely reuse both the existing foundation materials as well as the asphalt. By utilizing the RoadCem product, the in-situ material is transformed into a strong, flexible cement stabilization. So by using RoadCem, no materials need be supplied or removed from the site, and construction times are therefore significantly reduced. In one week's time a 2km-long residential street was finished completely, which meant that the nuisance to the residents along the street was kept to a minimum. Using the traditional method, this construction work would normally take 3 weeks to complete.

 

By using RoadCem, the stabilization also attains a higher degree of flexibility which means it is more resistant to deformation and the formation of cracks. This results in a longer service life for any road surface made with RoadCem.

 

The existing construction was milled through for 25cm and then mixed with RoadCem, cement and water. Then, 5cm of asphalt was laid on the stabilization.

Given the success of this project, the city of Kamenice has decided to once again utilize RoadCem for the renovation of several other roads in the area.

 

This project was carried out under the authority of the city of Kamenice in cooperation with the Czech contractors, Frekomos and Klodenské.
