Project 1: The Colorado Department of Transportation approved the use of a lime/fly ash blend for a project on US Highway 287 near Longmont, Colorado.

The following project demonstrates typical construction using CCPs.

 


Lime was mixed with soil and allowed to mellow for seven to ten days. Conditioned Class F fly ash was then delivered in live bottom trailers.

 


A motor grader spread the ash evenly over the lime/soil mixture.

 

A CMI roto-tiller connected to a water truck delivered and mixed a measured amount of water to the ash/soil/lime mixture.

 

The water is mixed in such a way as to result in an approximately 9 inch layer after compaction. A sheep's-foot roller compacts the mix and then a layer of aggregate is paced prior to paving. This lime/ash mix was selected to achieve certain geo-technical properties at the project, to ensure uniformity.
