Abstract

BC Stabilizer is a novel technique developed by the British Columbia Ministry of Transportation and Highways (B.C. MOTH) for the effective stabilization of base course. This technology involves the treatment of granular materials with a stabilizing agent consisted of lignin derivative and emulsified bitumen. In 1991, the patented BC Stabilizer technology was licensed to Arboken Inc. of Vancouver. In 1992, the Northwest Territories (NWT) Department of Transportation had selected this method of base stabilization for a section of the Mackenzie Highway, west of Enterprise. The 32-km project was completed during the 1992 construction season. Inspection of the project during the spring of 1993 shows that the original spring of 1993 shows that the original goal of constructing a strong and durable base has been achieved. This paper describes the BC Stabilizer technique. (A)
