The most economical solution for highly durable base courses

The additive for efficient, resource-friendly construction measures
Regular construction methods require the excavation, transport and disposal of the existing soil material and the subsequent filling of the excavation pit with additionally supplied filler materials. With InfraCrete®, you need none of the above.

Instead, InfraCrete® allows you to utilise the ground material that is already in place or use the existing, old base and wearing courses. It efficiently transforms these materials into a durable, highly resistant base and anti-freeze courses.

Highest stability for the highest requirements
Base and anti-freeze courses created with InfraCrete® are more stable than those produced by standard processes. At the same time, the InfraCrete® technology for soil stabilisation and HBL constitutes a nationally and internationally widespread procedure that complies with generally accepted rules of construction technology.

Of course, base and anti-freeze courses built with InfraCrete® comply with all requirements for use in water conservation areas.

Quicker hardening, shorter waiting times
The addition of InfraCrete® accelerates the hydration process. Not only does this increase the early strength of the newly constructed base course, it also lowers the hardening time considerably: the base course can be used after only 12 hours.

InfraCrete® also considerably increases the strength of the material during the 28-day hydration process.

Reduction of shrinkage cracks, increase in frost-resistance
The product achieves a 70% increase in the tensile bending strength during the early hydration phase, which distinctly reduces the risk of shrinkage cracks.

As a direct result, the water absorption of the base courses decreases and they become significantly more resistant to frost and thawing.

COST SAVINGS
The resource-saving use of the locally available material, which is converted into a long-lasting, load-bearing and frost-proof base course, eliminates the need for significant cost factors in comparison to conventional construction methods. Much shorter construction times make a contribution to further cost savings. Due to their specific properties, base courses created with InfraCrete® are characterized by a particularly low sensibility to (frost) damage, which results in comparatively low maintenance and repair requirements. The total costs over the calculated lifetime is significantly lower than in the case of conventionally built base courses, on average more than 30 percent.

TIME SAVINGS
By eliminating numerous work steps in comparison to conventional construction methods, the innovative InfraCrete® base courses enable noticeably shorter construction times. The base courses can be further processed after only 12 hours, for example by applying a wearing course, or their intended use. Especially in the field of road construction, this leads to significantly shorter interventions in the flow of traffic.

GREEN FOOTPRINT
The InfraCrete® base courses leave a significant green footprint in contrast to conventional construction methods. By using the material already available on site, there is no need to provide valuable resources in the form of fresh building materials. Thus, interference with the environment is minimized. Noticeably less CO2 (~ 1.5 kg per sqm of constructed base course) and NOx (~ 445 mg per sqm of constructed base course) are emitted into the environment by construction machinery and trucks during the construction work through significantly shorter construction times and the elimination of numerous work steps: no excavation, no disposal and no filler materials. Any environmental toxins present in the existing soil material, for example heavy metals or PAHs, are permanently and reliably immobilized by encapsulation in the base course so that they can no longer endanger the environment.
