Oklaunion Fly Ash and Bottom Ash Used for Road Base

Fly ash and bottom ash from AEP’s Oklaunion Power Plant, located near Vernon, Texas, is being used as a road base material. Boral Materials Technolgies, the plant’s CCP marketer, is using the plant’s fly ash and bottom ash for their Boral RoadMix Base™ product. This combination of bottom ash and pelletized high calcium fly ash is produced in a patented process using a Boral MACS® machine. RoadMix Base provides high durability as a semi-rigid, non-plastic road base material. Its stability also makes RoadMix Base very effective in certain fills and beneath construction slabs.
