Soil Stabilization in Ohio: How Mt. Carmel Delivered 4 Years of Safe, Reliable Cement Stabilization on the Akron Beltway

Building Ohio’s Future—One Mile at a Time

When the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) set out to modernize Akron’s I-76/I-77/SR 8 Beltway, they needed a partner who could deliver uncompromising results—safely, efficiently, and on schedule. For four years, Mt. Carmel Stabilization Group rose to the challenge, providing cement stabilization across more than 375,000 square yards of Northeast Ohio soil. Here’s how our team supported one of the state’s most critical infrastructure upgrades—proving once again why we’re Ohio’s go-to experts for soil stabilization.

Cement Stabilization for Ohio’s Vital Transportation Corridor 

The Akron Beltway project, led by the joint venture between Shelly & Sands and The Ruhlin Company for ODOT, is a cornerstone of Northeast Ohio’s transportation system. Mt. Carmel Stabilization Group was entrusted with cement stabilization of the new pavement subgrade—laying the groundwork for lasting roadway strength. Over 10,000 tons of cement were expertly applied and mixed with the existing subgrade soil, ensuring the subgrade could stand up to decades of heavy traffic and Ohio’s challenging climate.

Setting the Gold Standard for Safety in Soil Stabilization 

Working under live interstate traffic is more than a challenge—it’s a test of discipline, skill, and preparation. Our crews logged over 7,500 man-hours in high-risk conditions without a single accident or injury—a record that speaks volumes about Mt. Carmel’s commitment to safety and operational excellence. Every current team member received a safety award for their efforts, with special recognition for Superintendent Joe Moffit, Mechanic Jordon Rayner, and Operator Brian Peterson, who led by example while logging the most hours on this project.

Night Operations—Flexibility When Ohio Projects Demand It 

Few contractors can mobilize at night without compromising quality or safety. For the Akron Beltway, several nighttime shifts were essential to keep the project moving. Mt. Carmel’s ability to adapt—delivering the same high standards after dark—demonstrates our readiness for any scenario Ohio’s DOT or contractors might face.
