STABILIZATION USING WMM PLANT

WMM is a cost-effective and efficient method for improving the performance of road bases. It strengthens the existing soil by incorporating water, aggregates, and binding agents. This creates a stable and durable foundation for the overlying road layers, leading to several benefits:

WMM significantly improves the load-bearing capacity of the road base, allowing it to withstand heavier traffic loads and resist wear and tear. A well-stabilized base minimizes the need for frequent repairs and maintenance, saving time and resources in the long run.

MIXING

Aggregates, water, and binding agents are precisely combined in a WMM plant. This ensures a uniform mixture with optimal properties for stabilization.

SPREADING

The mixed material is evenly distributed over the prepared subgrade, creating a consistent base layer.

COMPACTION

The spread material is compacted using specialized rollers to achieve maximum density and improve its load-bearing capacity.

GRADING

The compacted base is shaped to the exact dimensions and profile specified in the engineering design.

CURING

When using binding agents like cement, a curing period may be necessary to allow the stabilization reaction to occur and further enhance the strength of the base.

WATER

Proper water content in WMM mixes is crucial for effective aggregate binding during compaction. In mixes with cement or lime, water activates chemical reactions that enhance strength. It also fills voids between aggregates, improving the density and stability of the mixture.
**Too much water can weaken the mixture, while too little can hinder compaction.

MATERIAL

BINDING AGENTS

Binding agents like lime or cement may be added to the mix to enhance the strength and stability of the soil.
