RESILICORE™ | ROAD + SOIL STABILIZATION
Build More With the Ground You Have.
Strengthen suitable native soils for roads, access routes, construction sites, energy projects, and infrastructure applications—helping reduce dependence on imported materials, unnecessary hauling, and conventional material demands.
THE OPPORTUNITY BENEATH THE PROJECT
What If the Site Already Has More of What You Need?
Road and site development often begins by bringing material in—aggregate, base material, trucks, equipment, and the logistics required to move it all. But depending on site conditions and project requirements, suitable native soil may already provide part of the foundation for a better approach.
CONVENTIONAL APPROACH
Bring More to the Site.
RESILICORE™ APPROACH
Start With What the Site Already Has.
Traditional construction methods may rely on imported materials and the transportation, handling, equipment, and site activity required to place them.
Where soil conditions and project requirements are appropriate, road and soil stabilization can make greater use of suitable native material already present at the site.
IMPORTED MATERIALS
Additional aggregate or base materials may need to be sourced and transported to the project.
EVALUATE NATIVE SOIL
Begin by understanding the existing soil, intended application, and required project performance.
MATERIAL MOVEMENT
Moving material onto, off, and around a site can add logistics and project activity.
USE SUITABLE MATERIAL
Determine whether appropriate native soil can become part of the stabilized road base or surface.
TRANSPORTATION
Material requirements can translate into additional truck movements, fuel use, scheduling, and coordination.
REDUCE UNNECESSARY MOVEMENT
Greater use of suitable on-site material may reduce dependence on unnecessary importing, exporting, and hauling.
SITE ACTIVITY
More material movement can mean more equipment, handling, and disruption during construction.
BUILD FOR THE APPLICATION
Match the stabilization approach to the road, site conditions, intended use, and project requirements.
Sometimes better infrastructure starts with using more of what is already there.
HOW IT WORKS
Turn Suitable Native Soil Into Part of the Solution.
Road + Soil Stabilization begins with understanding the ground already present. When site conditions, soil characteristics, and project requirements are appropriate, suitable native material can be prepared, treated, and compacted to support the intended infrastructure application.

EVALUATE
Understand the Ground.
PREPARE
Prepare the Site.
INTEGRATE
Introduce the Stabilization Solution.
COMPACT
Build the Stabilized Layer.
COMPLETE
Prepare for Its Intended Use.
Review the existing soil, project application, site conditions, and required performance to determine whether the stabilization approach is appropriate.
Prepare the designated soil and project area for treatment according to the requirements of the application.
The stabilization solution is incorporated into the prepared native material as part of the treatment process.
The treated material is worked and compacted to create the stabilized road surface or structural layer required for the application.
Depending on the project, the stabilized material may serve as the completed surface or as part of the supporting structure for subsequent construction.
The objective is simple: make better use of suitable material already at the site.
WHERE IT CAN BE USED
One Ground. Many Applications.
From roads and access routes to construction, industrial, energy, and public infrastructure projects, stabilization can help suitable native soils become part of the infrastructure itself.
🛤️
INFRASTRUCTURE CLASS A-1
UNPAVED + RURAL ROADS
Build Better Roads From Available Ground.
Stabilization may be used in appropriate unpaved road applications where suitable native soils can be prepared and compacted to support the intended roadway.
Rural roads • private roads • service roads • community access routes
🏗️
INFRASTRUCTURE CLASS B-2
PAVED ROADS + SUBBASES
Strengthen What Goes Beneath the Surface.
Suitable stabilized soil may form part of the supporting base or subbase beneath subsequent roadway construction when appropriate for the project design.
Road bases • subbases • roadway reconstruction • infrastructure improvements
🚧
INFRASTRUCTURE CLASS C-3
CONSTRUCTION + SITE ACCESS
Create Access Where Work Needs to Happen.
Stabilization may support temporary or permanent access routes and suitable site infrastructure required to move people, equipment, and materials.
Construction access • project roads • equipment routes • site circulation
🔋
INFRASTRUCTURE CLASS D-4
ENERGY + INDUSTRIAL SITES
Support Infrastructure Beyond the Highway.
Road and soil stabilization may be considered for appropriate access and site applications supporting energy, utility, industrial, and other infrastructure development.
Energy projects • utility access • industrial sites • heavy-use access routes
🏛️
INFRASTRUCTURE CLASS E-5
PUBLIC + MUNICIPAL INFRASTRUCTURE
Extend the Approach Across Community Infrastructure.
Public agencies and infrastructure owners may evaluate stabilization for appropriate roadway, access, maintenance, and site applications.
Municipal roads • county roads • public works access • government infrastructure
◈
INFRASTRUCTURE CLASS S-SPEC
SPECIALTY APPLICATIONS
Adapt the Approach to the Project.
Some projects present site-specific conditions or infrastructure requirements that may benefit from evaluating stabilized native soil as part of the solution.
Remote access • specialized project sites • infrastructure corridors • other engineered applications
Different projects. Different conditions. The same starting question: what can we responsibly build with the ground already there?
Application suitability is determined by site conditions, soil characteristics, intended use, and project requirements.
PERFORMANCE + EVIDENCE
Performance Should Be Demonstrated, Not Assumed.
Road and soil conditions vary from project to project. The appropriate question is not whether one solution works everywhere, but whether the available evidence, site conditions, and project requirements support its use for the application being considered.
01 — TECHNICAL DOCUMENTATION
Start With What Can Be Documented.
02 — TESTING + VERIFICATION
Look Beyond the Claim.
Technical specifications, application guidance, testing information, and supporting documentation help establish how a solution is intended to be evaluated and used.
Relevant testing and supporting evidence can help inform whether a stabilization approach is appropriate for the performance requirements of a particular project.
Specifications • Technical Data • Application Guidance • Supporting Documentation
Testing • Verification • Performance Criteria • Supporting Evidence
03 — REAL-WORLD APPLICATION
Understand Where It Has Been Applied.
04 — PROJECT-SPECIFIC REVIEW
Bring the Evidence Back to the Site.
Documented project applications and field experience can provide useful context for understanding how a technology has been used under real operating conditions.
Existing evidence provides context, but suitability ultimately depends on the conditions and requirements of the project being considered.
Project Applications • Field Experience • Use Cases • Documented Results
Soil Conditions • Intended Application • Performance Requirements • Site Conditions • Project Specifications
DOCUMENTATION → EVIDENCE → APPLICATION → PROJECT REVIEW
Evidence informs the decision. Project conditions determine its relevance.
THE USS APPROACH
We Separate the Claim From the Evidence Behind It.
USS evaluates available technical information and supporting evidence before incorporating performance claims into project discussions or public-facing materials. Where additional technical or engineering review is appropriate, that review becomes part of determining whether the solution fits the project.
The objective is not to make the biggest claim. It is to make the most supportable one.
PROJECT REQUIREMENTS ESTIMATOR
Start With the Size of Your Project.
Enter your project dimensions to generate a preliminary estimate of stabilization material requirements. If you already have soil-test information, you can also estimate the water required to reach the target moisture condition.

We Can Help You Determine What You're Working With.
Where appropriate, USS can facilitate soil testing to help establish relevant soil characteristics and support technical evaluation of a proposed road or soil stabilization project.
Soil information can help refine project requirements and determine whether the stabilization approach is appropriate for the intended application.
