I talked about the Michigan highways and the roads between London Ontario to Windsor Ontario. They are glysolic soils ( high in moisture and organic matter). Because of their weakness they heave more than other soils in the world. They are a mess. And everyone in North America has hear once in their lifetime how crappy Michigan roads can get. Cvx laying down a sub base would help greatly to improve those roads and increase their longevity, those be more cost effective in the long run. It is absolutely the answer. BUT THE ENGINEERS AND MUNICIPAL INFRASTRUCTURE INDIVIDUALS HAVE NO IDEA THIS PRODUCT EXISTS. So I mention that CVX management should put more effort into educating these people. And what happens? I get cra&$ed on because I sound negative. What a joke.
No cra&$ from me vinmick - all input is more than welcome here since we need all the interest we can get! And yes - I agree with you - it is just a matter of education I believe. Municipal governments would be more than willing to spend the extra dollars to repair a problematic section of road if they knew it would last the next 20 years without further maintenance.
I trust the company is using the Calgary example for future contracts. Furthermore, this product would make an excellent insulation layer for concrete slab construction of any description.
