Building stronger carbon negative roads

Innovation in road construction

‍

-is hard to do, decades of experience, specialized equipment and "how to" knowledge in the construction companies sometimes hinders advancements.

Carbon Crusher has for the last decade trail blazed a few new methods that is real innovation in road construction

‍

1. Crushing on site

Crushing and repurposing existing road materials

Our Crushers have the ability to reclaim road material down to 35 cm and crush stone up to 24cm in diameter. These are powerful machines that both eliminate the need for mass replacement and thus takes away the need for transportation of existing mass or adding new mass to the construction site. The latest generation crushers are also the first to incorporate the the application of Biobinders with exact moisture measurements in one operation.

2. Use of Biobinders

Using the biosphere to heal the atmosphere

Biopolymers and Biobinders represent the future of road making due to several compelling reasons. Firstly, they are environmentally friendly, being derived from renewable resources, which reduces the carbon footprint of road construction and maintenance. Secondly, these materials often exhibit superior durability and resilience compared to traditional petroleum-based binders, leading to longer-lasting roads with fewer repairs needed. Additionally, the use of Biobinders, such as those derived from waste products of other industries, promotes a circular economy, utilizing by-products that would otherwise contribute to waste. Lastly, as the global focus shifts towards sustainable practices, biopolymers and Biobinders align with this trend, offering a greener, more sustainable solution for infrastructure development.

One of our big innovation efforts right now, goes in to how we can fortify natural biopolymers to further enhance the ability to sequester carbon and to make roads even stronger.

3. Sensors, AI and large data sets

We all know its coming, but we dont know how to utilize it, AI. At Carbon Crusher we have developed an image algorithm that can detect and predict road maintenance needs. This allows our customers to plan and document all road maintenance needs in a structured and effective manner.

Our sensors package developed to improve all project execution can detect moisture in the ground, calculate the exact amount of Biobinder is needed to make the strongest road and calculate the level of compacting and grading that is needed to optimize your road.

All of these functions are great, but how do we make sense of them? The problem with the virtual world vs the real world is that you cant just go out and look at the problem or the road in a software. Now you can, we have implemented a real world UI that places data at a geographical place, a real world simulation. We are looking forward to showing you how.
