You are challenged with maintaining the ballast along the tracks as well as the terrain around them. Inclement weather and construction can lead to soil and ballast wash out along with runoff or windblown particles depositing into drains, ditches or lakes, all which can seriously endanger plant and aquatic life. Traditional “solutions” for these issues include silt fencing, hay bales, vegetative buffers, mulches or erosion control blankets. Midwest believes that erosion control and soil stabilization is much more cost effective than sediment control. By stopping erosion you can avoid costly clean-up and environmental effects from occurring.
Midwest can help operators deal with these issues by offering Soil-Sement® to manage aspects of erosion, sediment, silt and stormwater runoff problems.
Our products are specifically designed for use in stabilizing soil and controlling erosion. They are developed to be environmentally safe and provide superior dust control performance. Over the past 33 years, they have been extensively tested in the field, in our state-of-the-art laboratory and by independent organizations such as the US EPA, California Air Resource Board and Canada ETV.

Soil-Sement® Engineered Formula
A high performance, critical application polymer emulsion blend designed to give exceptional dry strength and exceptional wet strength properties to Road-Bldr® engineered design and installation procedures that include Samitron® testing.Road-Bldr®
Engineered roadway construction system designed to site specific conditions utilizing Soil-Sement® Engineered Formula, SAMITRON Installation Controls, and Engineering Design Practices.Resinpave™
A unique patented system that creates flexible "pavement" with a natural appearance making it the perfect choice for any setting where the trail, path, slope, recreational area, road or parking lot must blend with the environment or architectural/historical features. The Resinpave™ system utilizes Road Oyl®, a resin-modified emulsion that provides a cold applied high performance treatment for bare earth 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.
Midwest also understands that managing a program in-house can be extremely difficult. And outsourcing is not necessarily easy. We have the programs that provide either Turnkey Application Services of fugitive dust control products or a guaranteed Dust Control Service Program of monitoring and maintaining the prescribed level of dust control.
