- Roads and Highways
- Principal roads and highways
- Secondary roads and highways
- Mineral ore hauling roads
- Timber hauling roads
- Airport Runways
- Commercial aviation
- General aviation
- Containment Sealant
- Water reservoirs
- Waterborne waste reservoirs
- Mining leach pods
- Other containment enclosures
- Load Bearing capacity
- For roads with 15 cm to 30 cm surface thickness; Up to 9000
kg per wheel
- For roads with 30 cm to 60 cm surface thickness; Up to 13,000
kg per wheel.
- Effect of Ambient Temperature
Perma-Zyme roads are used in regions with temperature ranges from + 50C
to - 30C with only routine maintenance.
- Water Absorption
Perma'Zyme constructed roads, airport runways and containments have water
permeabilibty of less than 1 x 10-6
- Freeze - Thaw Cycles and Perma-Zyme use in Permafrost
Regions.
- Freeze - Thaw cycles have no effect on roads and airport runways
constructed with Perma-Zyme .
- Perma - Zyme is extensively used in permafrost regions
in the State of Alaska for construction of secondary ore and
timber handling roads for airport runway construction.
STATE OF ALASKA
Chris Kepler, Operations Chief
Bob Brownfield, Deputy Commissioner
Telephone (907) 269-0767
- State of Alaska Highway and Public Works Departments have used
Perma Zyme since 1982.
- Perma Zyme is used on State of Alaska highway systems (principal
and secondary roads, timber, and ore hauling roads) with a total
estimated length of roads over 500 km.
- Perma Zyme is used on airport runways for general and commercial
aviation, with estimate total length of 2800 meters.
- Perma-Zyme is used as containment sealant for water reservoirs
related to road and highway construction (volume of reservoirs
varies from 100 m3 to 500 m3.)
- Perma Zyme is used in Alaska regions with permafrost with
no impact on road performance. Temperature range in the regions
of Perma Zyme use ranges from 26C to -40C with no effect on
the road surface constructed with Perma Zyme .
- Water adsorption effectively near zero (permeability is less
than 1x10-6 cm/sec.)
- Essentially no effect from freeze-thaw cycles on roads constructed
with Perma-Zyme .
- Loads transported on Perma-Zyme constructed roads range from
9,000 to 13,000 kg per wheel.

roads range from 38C to
-34C, with no effect on the road surface constructed with Perma Zyme .
- Precipitation (water and snow) has very minimal impact on roads
constructed with Perma Zyme .
- Mineral ore loads transported on hauling roads constructed with
Perma Zyme range from 9,000 kg to 13,000 kg per wheel.
- Portion of ore hauling roads constructed with Perma Zyme
have gradient of over 20 percent in elevations over 4,200 m, with
no impact on the road stability.
- Essentially no effect from freeze - thaw cycles on roads constructed
with Perma Zyme .

and hauling roads approximately 400 km, at elevations of 1,800
m to 3,400 mt. Use on hauling roads constructed with Perma Zyme
, carry mineral ore on 18-wheel trucks with hauling weight estimated
at 60 tons.
- Perma Zyme is extensively used as containment sealant for
mining leach pods.
- Average total precipitation (rain and snow equivalent) over 152
cm per annum in areas with temperature range 38C to -34C in areas
with Perma Zyme constructed roads, with no effect on secondary
and hauling roads constructed with Perma Zyme .
- No effect from freeze and thaw cycles on roads constructed with
Perma Zyme .
