Gravelock
Cost Effective, Innovative, Easy to Use
World Leader in Soil Consolidation
Clay has both benefits and challenges for road construction. It binds and holds roads together, providing load-bearing capacity. However, it also attracts and retains water, weakening road structure. GRAVELOCK revolutionizes soil stabilization by addressing the “curse of clay.” This innovative product permanently reverses the ion charge of clay, expelling trapped water and preventing future water retention. As a result, GRAVELOCK increases hardness and strength, enhances load-bearing capacity, and drastically reduces road maintenance and improvement costs.
Water is the main enemy of roads, making them soft and reducing performance. By eliminating trapped water, GRAVELOCK significantly improves road durability and stability. Developed with expertise from one of the world’s oldest soil modifier manufacturers, GRAVELOCK is an environmentally friendly solution designed to strengthen and stabilize roads permanently.

Why Choose GRAVELOCK: Features & Benefits
Unrivaled Maintenance Reduction
GRAVELOCK significantly reduces maintenance efforts and costs, saving valuable time and resources while ensuring a smoother, more reliable roadway for all users. With up to an 80% reduction in maintenance needs, this technology offers exceptional value for road upkeep and long-term infrastructure sustainability.
Enhanced Road Performance
GRAVELOCK significantly enhances road strength, hardness, and bearing capacity, boosting performance by an impressive 150% to 386% in some cases. Depending on soil composition, California Bearing Ratio (CBR) values can increase by as much as 1000%, leading to dramatically improved road durability and longevity. It enhances trafficability in wet weather, and can reduce dust in dry weather, mitigating the re-adsorption of water into the road over time. This long-term treatment ensures that roads remain strong and stable, even under challenging conditions.
Superior Gravel Preservation
GRAVELOCK technology locks gravel into the road surface, drastically reducing gravel loss and the need for frequent re-graveling. This is especially beneficial for unpaved rural roads with heavy axle load traffic, where traditional treatments fall short. By preserving gravel, a non-renewable resource, GRAVELOCK extends the road’s lifespan and maintains its integrity.
Cost Savings
GRAVELOCK offers a range of benefits, including reducing the effects of spring thaw, preserving clay caps, and shedding water to maintain road durability. With a payback period as short as 18 months, this technology provides a significant return on capital investment, delivering substantial cost savings. Roads treated with GRAVELOCK require less frequent grading and re-graveling, resulting in massive savings in yearly maintenance and gravel expenses. By eliminating the need for extensive maintenance on paving equipment and machinery, GRAVELOCK significantly reduce costs for communities and towns. This leads to substantial budget savings, allowing local governments to allocate resources more effectively without the burden of ongoing equipment upkeep.
