Structural alternative

Traditional Methods Have Reached Their Limits

Asphalt has represented 95% of the market since 1870. Gravel has been used for 240 years. Midwest technologies provide a structural alternative: they use in-place soils without imported aggregate, with asphalt-comparable strength at a reduced cost.

Structural comparison

As Strong as Asphalt. At 30% of the Construction Cost.

On a typical pavement, a structural number of SN=1.70 can be reached with a classic asphalt design or with NaturalPave® — but one requires two imported asphalt layers, the other a single layer of in-place treated soil.

Traditional Design #1
5 cm asphalt + 20 cm crushed base
Reference cost: 100
NaturalPave®
20 cm in-place chemically stabilized soil
Typical cost: 30

Midwest comparison: Structural Number 1.70 (asphalt) vs 1.76 (NaturalPave®), for typical savings of 70%. Source: midwestind.com.
