On the Road to Sustainability
For a century, Edw. C. Levy Co. has been dedicated to reducing waste, minimizing CO2 emissions, and conserving and reusing energy wherever and whenever possible. Duraberm is the embodiment of this philosophy. Duraberm provides the same, if not more strength, while providing the same chemical constituency of other aggregates. It can be used on non-paved roads, for roadway stabilization, parking lot surfaces and driveways.
Duraberm Slag Aggregate:
The Foundation of Today’s Roads
Steel furnace slag is a co-product of the steel making process and Edw. C. Levy Co. reclaims this as a cost-effective and durable aggregate for road building. Duraberm, which is made from steel furnace slag, is a strong and sustainable material that holds up under heavy truck traffic, provides long service life, and helps control project cost.
On the Road to Stability
-
- Remove deep pavement cracks and allow for adjustments to the road profile.
-
- Conserve energy and preserve the environment.
-
- Equivalent to a traditionally reconstructed roadway in terms of life expectancy, wear and load bearing characteristics (Better Roads, 2001).
-
- Road can remain open to traffic until final pavement – fewer delays and interruptions to traffic.
-
- Reduced cost of construction.
- Increase stabilization of the road with chemical and mechanical binding properties already included in the slag aggregate
Duraberm Benefits
-
- Provides a cost-effective alternative when compared to concrete or asphalt on low-volume roads
-
- Duraberm is 100% crushed, which makes harder, more durable unpaved roads
-
- Longer life cycle for roads with heavy traffic
-
- Duraberm is rough and angular – locks the aggregate together
-
- Can provide “cementitious” properties to help stabilize roads
- Sustainable manufactured aggregate is a greener alternative to crushed rock

What Customers Are Saying
Duraberm
“I have used Duraberm for the last six years on driveways and parking lots. The quality of the product keeps getting better. The people at Butler Mill Service do a great job keeping product on the ground. I average about 200 tons per day out of the Butler plant. It packs down hard for longevity and doesn’t turn to powder like limestone does. It is also about half the price of limestone. I used Duraberm on my own parking lot (about 50 truckloads). I plan to use Duraberm for years to come.”Duraberm and Durabase
“We have used the Duraberm & Durabase products for the last two and a half years. We have found the products to be very durable and cost effective. The customer demand for these products has increased exponentially over this time. We also really like the new sales yard. It has made the customer experience much more enjoyable and efficient.”Duraberm
“Duraberm is the best material I have found for roads and driveways!!! I have put down many loads in various situations and it has done its job over and over!!! Why pay more for other materials that are out there when Duraberm gets the job done for less!!!”
