Road OylŽ is a patented resin-modified emulsion that provides a cold applied high performance treatment for bare earth or unpaved surfaces such as stockpiles or unpaved roads. Formulated from tree resin ingredients, this state-of-the-art, non-ionic emulsion technology is unique in its high bonding strength and is appropriate for use even in close proximity to wetland areas and other areas of environmental sensitivity. Road OylŽ provides the clean, high performance technology needed for any type of project requiring dust control and soil stabilization.

Originally developed to solve severe dust problems on mine haul roads, Road OylŽ has been used around the world for over 15 years. Utilized in the U.S. Military in Turkey and Somalia, landfills in Los Angeles, steel mills in St. Louis, coal mines in Kentucky, Virginia and West Virginia to gold mines in Indonesia.

Since Road OylŽ is made from all natural ingredients harvested on a sustainable basis, it has never had a problem being approved for use in any application or as part of an environmental permit issued to an operating entity such as a landfill, steel mill or mine.

Road OylŽ is versatile and multi-purpose in use for dust control, erosion control, stabilization, shoulder treatments and other specialized applications. It has been specifically designed and proven to be a long-term solution for efficient control of road dust as well as for use on mine tailings and stockpiles. Whether you are creating a landing strip, access road, haul road, hardened surface, trail or have erosion control requirements, Road OylŽ provides a reliable, environmentally friendly binder.

Traffic on a Road OylŽ surface will compact the surface into a smooth dust free pavement-like surface. It penetrates road aggregate and binds it into a surface proven stronger than asphalt. Road OylŽ darkens the aggregate or soil that it's applied to slightly but maintains the same basic look, which makes it desirable in natural settings. Road OylŽ does not track when applied as directed.

The purpose of this project is to compare the effectiveness of surface treatments for creating a trail accessible to people with mobility impairments. Specifically, this study is examining the longitudinal effects of surface treatments on surface firmness and stability, the costs of applying the treatments, and their relative maintenance demands.

    • The Gary E. Cargill Research Trail for Universal Design

      Gary's Trail is located at Easter Seals' Rocky Mountain Village near Empire at the eastern end of the Corridor.  Gary's Trail has three purposes. The first is to test how grade, cross-slope and surface material determine the level of difficulty for a trail.  The second is to test various trail surfaces and see how they react to Colorado's weather. The third is simply to provide a trail for enjoyment by visitors to Rocky Mountain Village.

    • Designating Parking Areas on Unpaved Surfaces

      As the popularity of our national forests grows, greater demands are placed on areas to park, view, and enjoy the beauty of the outdoors. In the past, parking areas that were not defined with asphalt and/or striping were adequate to handle traffic. However, as more people use recreation areas, the need to direct traffic and provide an orderly arrangement for parking increases.
