Novolipetsk Metallurgical Plant, the flagship company of NLMK Group, has completed the construction of a road in the village of Teploe, Lipetsk Region, using a new soil stabilization technology using steelmaking slag. Such a road will not require repair for at least three years, the cost of its construction is three times less than asphalt concrete.
BSE, a resident of the Skolkovo innovation center, together with NLMK, has developed a soil strengthening technology using fine-fraction steelmaking slag - by-products, which are obtained during steel smelting.
First, using special equipment, the existing soil is mixed with slag in equal proportions. Then a small amount of cement and a unique modifier are added. A special reagent gives strength and plasticity to the road surface. The roadbed is compacted with pneumatic rollers, as a result, the road gets a hard surface with a high bearing capacity.
In 2018, BSE successfully applied this technology in the construction of 6,000 sq. meters of flooring in the logistics center of the NLMK Kaluga plant (part of the NLMK Group). Now the innovative technology was used to repair the central road in the village of Teploye with a length of about a kilometer and an area of 4 thousand square meters. meters.
