Adding cement to a lane way

[daveydiesel1]

I used to see a company advertising in some or the farm books, possibly farmers weekly but cant remember, they did a service where they would come and rip up a stone laneway and level it and then add cement to leave it like a concrete finish. Any1 here have any experience of this good or bad and how did it last long term with farm traffic. Iv a lane and been pondering this for a while

Just cement powder or a cement wash ?

 

[serf]

These do it around here, not sure who you have in NI though

Reads or Goulding's round here, had reads do our drive20 years ago and still holding up, if a pothole develops just clean it out dry and put a strong mix in, think it was guaranteed for 10 years.

From memory they drag a cultivator type tool over the existing surface, then spread the cement on to it, and run a crusher of sorts over it. It is then compacted with vibrating roller type machines. The cement binds the aggregate together.

Cement Stabilisation

Like This

Been a few threads on here, cement stabilisation, did all our farm lane in sections over couple of years, relatively happy with it. It ain’t as good as concrete but costs less and can soon have traffic back on lane. We used RTW road restoration - decent bunch of lads- road ripped up using a stone crusher regraded and cement mixed in re compacted and water added then refinished to give a grippy surface

I think I have heard, if you have used road planings on the track you can't do cement stabilisation as the cement does not work well with the bitumen.

Was told the same a few years back.

What sort of price is it per metre?

What sort of price is it per metre?

Too much probably... as we had to put up with a stoned yard full of holes..... mind you the pair of strokers running it would spend a pound to save 10p

 

[nonemouse]

What sort of price is it per metre?

It’s a few years since we did ours, so prices will no doubt have gone up a lot, IIRC it was less than half price of the ready mix and without the cost of laying the concrete.

The lane is say 10-12 foot wide and mabe 5-600 foot long at a guess. Any idea what it would cost? Mainly car traffic with 2000 gallon slurry tanker and silage trailers at times but no lorries. Good hard footing, what would that cost

Good evening I can confirm that road plannings work very well for the process of cement stabilisation.
a lot of councils through out the UK use road plannings mixed with cold bitumen and cement powder to make a base material for there roads.
Road plannings make for a strong concrete stabilised road.
