Britpave

Britpave, the British Cementitious Paving Association, is an independent body established to develop and forward concrete and cementitious solutions for infrastructure.

Please note, Britpave Trade Association has no commercial interest in or trading association with Britpave concrete step barrier. For contact details see: www.bbsbarriers.com

It is active in the development of solutions and best practice for roads, rail, airfields, guided bus, drainage channels, soil stabilisation and recycling. As such, the Association is the focal point for the infrastructure industry.

The broad membership of Britpave encourages the exchange of pan-industry expertise and experience. Members include contractors, consulting engineers and designers, specialist equipment and material suppliers, academics and clients – both in the UK and internationally.

The Association works closely with national and European standards and regulatory bodies, clients and associated industry organisations. It provides a single industry voice that facilitates representation to government, develops best practice and technical guidance and champions concrete solutions that are cost efficient, sustainable, low maintenance and long-lasting.

Industry Initiative: Soil Stabilisation

New Stabilisation Guidance

Britpave has published a new introductory and technical guide to mix-in-place soil improvement and stabilisation. It outlines industry best practice and provides technical information plus signposts to industry standards and further reading. “Soil Improvement and Soil Stabilisation: A Definitive Guide” explains the what, why, where and how of soil stabilisation.

The guide concentrates on the use of binders to improve and stabilise clays and fine-grained soils. The common binders discussed are lime, cement and ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS). Fly ash is covered even though it is less commonly used and the UK supply is set to decline as UK coal-fired power stations are being decommissioned. The use of foamed bitumen as a binder for coarse-grained soils and aggregates is a niche technique and is not included. Unlike Advice Note HA/74/07, this guide seeks to describe the process of soil stabilisation for all infrastructure sectors, not just highway works and slope repairs.

Thanks are extended to the members of the working group for their valued input: Beach Ground Engineering, Balfour Beatty, AECOM, Combined Soil Stabilisation, Geofirma, Carillion and Highways England.
