PX300 in Norway
Soil stabilization technology for gravel roads, access roads, construction areas, trails, and other unpaved surfaces.
Improve the performance of existing soil and aggregate while reducing reliance on imported material.
Why PX300?
A Cost-Effective Alternative to Asphalt and Concrete
PX300 can provide a substantially lower-cost stabilization solution for roads, work areas, and other suitable surfaces compared with conventional asphalt or concrete construction.
Low Water Permeability
PX300-treated material has demonstrated very low hydraulic conductivity (2.9 × 10⁻⁹ cm/s). Reduced water infiltration can help protect the stabilized layer from moisture-related deterioration and maintain more consistent surface conditions.
Simplified Construction
PX300 can be incorporated using conventional grading, mixing, and compaction equipment, reducing the number of materials and construction operations required.
Why Norway?
Norway has demanding infrastructure conditions, including steep terrain, freeze-thaw cycles, high transport cost, remote roads, and ongoing maintenance needs for dirt roads, access roads, trails, and work areas.
PX300 may be relevant for owners who are looking for ways to:
Improve surface stability
Provide a finished relatively impermeable surface
Reduce dust and erosion
Lower maintenance needs
Improve access roads, pads, and other unpaved surfaces
Reduce imported aggregate use
Reduce costs associated with traditional road-building methods
Potential Applications in Norway
How PX300 works
PX300 is mixed with the existing soil or aggregate base and compacted to create a stronger, more durable stabilized layer. Instead of relying entirely on expensive imported material (asphalt, concrete), our process improves the performance of the “existing/native” soil. In some cases, decomposed granite (DG) is used with PX300 to improve the native soil or to produce a more decorative trail.

DOCUMENTATION & ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE
PX300 has undergone the documentation and chemical compliance work required in Norway and has been used in many countries in North and Central America, Africa, Asia, and Europe. Supporting safety, chemical, and environmental documentation is available for review.
Additional project-specific testing and engineering evaluation can be carried out where required.
PROJECTS & PARTNERSHIPS
PX300 is currently specified for projects at Doheny State Beach Park, Anaheim Park, and Point Mugu, California; Maui, Hawaii; Garnet Ghost Town, Montana; Stennis Space Center, Mississippi; Vancouver, British Columbia; and Isfjorden, Norway.
We work with contractors, public utilities, municipalities, developers, road associations, landowners, and infrastructure stakeholders to assess soil conditions and project requirements to develop custom PX300 applications.
