Shoulder Stabilization

Shoulder Stabilization – EL-Quarto SSS

Overview
Road shoulders often take abuse — water erosion, vehicle overrun, and material loss degrade them quickly. EL-Quarto SSS restores and stabilizes shoulders by creating a cohesive, erosion-resistant layer that holds together even under heavy use.

How It Works

• We apply the stabilizer via spray or mix-in (depending on soil conditions), which penetrates the shoulder soil.
• The molecular bonds form a dense, structured matrix that resists wash-off, rutting, and lateral spread.
• When micro-cracks appear (e.g., from heavy rain or temperature shifts), the self-healing bond system reactivates with moisture to repair micro-voids.

Benefits

• Prevents shoulder erosion and edge drop-off
• Extends the life of shoulder material and reduces the need for regrading
• Minimizes aggregate loss and dust generation
• Maintains consistent support for vehicles driving off the main pavement
• Reduces maintenance and material costs over time

Use Cases

• Highway and rural road shoulders
• Construction site edges
• Mine road perimeters
• Parking lot borders
• Runway or airstrip edges
