Recognition of environmental and social advantages of using stabilisation in road rehabilitation

Insitu stabilisation techniques have long been used by engineers in Australia and many places throughout the world for pavement (usually roads) construction and rehabilitation. These techniques have historically been chosen by the managers of pavements predominantly because of their significant cost advantages and although the social and environmental benefits have been recognised they have not been key factors in the pavement managers� evaluation processes. This paper aims to highlight the cost savings that the social and environmental benefits of using insitu stabilisation can provide to the community by detailing and quantifying in terms of dollars, the previously less tangible advantages of stabilisation techniques.
