CON-AID
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. CON-AID 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, CON-AID 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, CON-AID significantly improves road durability and stability. Developed with expertise from one of the world’s oldest soil modifier manufacturers, CON-AID is an environmentally friendly solution designed to strengthen and stabilize roads permanently.

Why Choose CON-AID: Features & Benefits
Unrivaled Maintenance Reduction
CON-AID 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
CON-AID 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
CON-AID 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, CON-AID extends the road’s lifespan and maintains its integrity.
Cost Savings
CON-AID 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 CON-AID 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, CON-AID 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.
