Reduced maintenance requirements and whole-of-life costs

Significantly improved resistance to moisture and pumping of fines

No risk of shrinkage cracking

Foamed Bitumen Stabilisation

Foamed Bitumen is becoming a solution of choice for the construction of heavily trafficked pavements. It is a highly cost-effective alternative to asphalt and traditional remediation methods and is particularly useful in level-constrained settings where a significant overlay is not feasible.

Foamed Bitumen is quick to deliver and results in a strong and durable basecourse, with viscoelastic performance approaching that of asphalt. The process can also eliminate the need for new aggregates and the end-product can be trafficked almost immediately, making it perfect for environments where works are carried out adjacent to active lanes.

The versatility and successful track record of Foamed Bitumen in a wide range of extreme conditions has led it to be used extensively in Australia, South Africa, the UK, North America, the Middle East and Europe.

Foamed Bitumen is a highly cost-effect alternative to asphalt and traditional remediation methods.
