Lithified Technology’s “Accelerated Lithification” turns soil into stone in 24 to 48 hours, which creates what the company calls “Nature’s Concrete”. This technology is changing the way roads and highways are built and maintained. The environmentally, friendly, formulations increase the strength and load bearing capacity of traditional base course that used as the foundation under the road’s asphalt surface by as much as 6000%.
The Company, customizes the formulations in their GeoTechnical soil labs to optimize the performance across the spectrum of soil types, ranging from blow sand to expansive clays. The green road technology has passed the EPA tests that show zero leaching of harmful ingredients into the environment and it can encapsulate toxic mine tailings or other harmful chemicals and keep them from leaching into the environment. The LithTec™ road technology reduces the greenhouse gas emissions that are created in constructing a road by as much as 75% over traditional road construction methods.
The top two reasons that roads fails is water undermining the road’s foundation and damage caused from heavy weight loads from traffic and 40 ton trucks. A LithTec™ treated base is resistant to water and creates unprecedented load bearing capacity. Creating this kind of strength in the roads foundation enables the thickness of the asphalt to be reduced by as much as two thirds. (for example 6” is reduced to 2”).
LithTec™ has been working with the top scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory for the past five years and has developed other technologies that include capping abandoned uranium mines, earth liners for lining and capping landfills, agricultural pond liners, earth liners for algae biofuel raceways, mine tailing containment and in superfund remediation. https://lithtec.com/technology-summary/
