RBI Grade 81 - Benefits of natural soil stabalisation as a foundation layer including recycled asphalt, dust control and dust supression.

Elimination for the need to replace soil material
RBI Grade 81 is able to stabilise all types of soil, whether very sandy or high clay content soils, thereby avoiding the otherwise necessary replacement of in-situ material. By avoiding a soil exchange program, and vastly reducing the need for aggregate, RBI Grade 81 lowers the cost profile of road construction significantly in comparison to conventional methods.
Productivity savings:
Due to the avoided replacement soil program, use of RBI Grade 81 leads to significant savings in labour costs, contractor costs, engineering and equipment costs and the cost of general raw materials. The productivity of site is dramatically improved, allowing projects to be completed well ahead of schedule at lower cost. RBI Grade 81 creates project viability where it previously did not exist.
Long-term benefits:
The use of RBI Grade 81 eliminates the requirement for on-going maintenance, regardless of prevailing weather conditions. Pavement layers designed to incorporate RBI Grade 81 exhibit extended life-expectancies by years.

RBI Grade 81, in addition to reducing the depletion of natural resources, offers significant environmental benefits over conventional stabilisation methods. Documented in various 3rd party life-cycle analysis, RBI Grade 81 has been cited numerous times for its environmental burden reduction profile."

RBI Grade 81 facilitates the use of in-situ soil material, avoiding the conventional need for sourcing quarry materials, extensive production and transportation of lime and stone material and the dumping of asphalt
