Advanced Technology in Road Construction

Our Soil Stabilization Solutions include the use of a highly effective Nano Technology Binding Agent

EBS - Soil Stabilizer which is   

a linear molecular structure consisting of millions of molecules that are linked and

cross linked together creating a stable bonding matrix.

Wikipedia: In polymer chemistry, Polymerization is a process of reacting monomer molecules together in a chemical reaction to form three-dimensional networks or polymer chains. There are many forms of polymerization and different systems exist to categorize them.

Specifically Designed Purpose Fit
Nano Technology Formulation

Utilizing the latest polymerization and best available reactor technology,

EBS Soil Stabilizer coalesces and binds soil particles to create a solid mass

We have successfully combine the traditional civil engineering aspects of road design and construction with our technologically advanced EBS Soil Stabilizer which  yields the following results:

• Increase Load Bearing Capacity
• Increase the Tensile Strength
• Increase Elastomeric Properties
• Increase Skid Resistance                                                  
• Decrease Rolling Resistance                                                            
• Reduce Freeze-thaw HeavingEliminate Corrugation and Rutting
• Water and UV Resistant                                                                   
• Eliminate Requirement for Grading and Watering
• Eliminates Dust    (*)
• Improved and  Maintained Visibility
• Improved Fuel Efficiency and Reduced Tyre Wear
• Safer Driving Environment

(*)  Will suppress dust particles less than PM₁₀ and PM_2.5 microns in size, thus complying with US EPA standards and ISO 14001 compliancy)\

Overall Result = Superior End Product  + Reduced Initial and Life Cycle costs + Improved Environmental Footprint

Used in numerous projects around the world Soil & Dust Solutions has proven time after time the successful results achieved when integrating our EBS into a soil stabilization and dust control project in accordance with our specifications.

Reduced Lifecycle Costs

The life cycle costs are  significantly reduced. Contact us to request a Cost and Benefit Analysis Paper developed in conjunction with the mining industry for the mining industry which uses quantifiable data to demonstrate the cost and savings over a ten year life cycle as well as the resulting reduction in carbon emissions and water savings.

Better Quality – Longer Lasting

The incorporation of EBS Soil Stabilizer into your road project will provide a stronger and longer lasting base and sub-base, wearing course; decrease rolling resistance while increasing ride performance; increasing the elasticity of the surface which will prohibit the formation of potholes, cracks, and result in an overall reduction in maintenance costs.

Reduced Construction & Material Costs

When used with in-situ soil it greatly reduces and in most cases eliminates the need for the importation of additional aggregate material which can be quite costly.

Quantity Required

The amount of product required is subject to final confirmation soil indicators (OMC, MDD, Atterberg Limits, Plasticity, Classification, Grading) as well as axle loads and traffic volume, all of which are contributing factors to the final mix design.

The utilization of accurate laboratory data allows us to provide cost effective Engineered Solutions™ by reducing the material costs and construction costs by over 40%.

Dries Odorless, Transparent and Clear

The Soil Stabilizer when cured is odorless, transparent and clear, leaving the surface looking untouched. A perfect Solution for Environmentally sensitive locations such as Game Lodges, Bush Airstrips, Golf Courses, and beach area developments.

 Non-Flammable - Non-Volatile - Non-Hazardous

The environmentally safe elements of our Soil Stabilizer make it completely safe to use, store, and apply as well as use underground.  Furthermore, as it is non-flammable and not a petroleum waste product it is not only safe to use underground, but should an area which has been treated undergo re-processing in the future, there will be no problems or flammability and/or toxicity and harmful emission issues, unlike other products which are hydrocarbon based.

 Non-Corrosive and Non-Tracking

Will not stick to vehicles or tyres.  Does not require designated application equipment. Will not clog or harm equipment.

Water resistant and Non-Dissipating and UV Resistant

Being water resistant allows the product to effectively seal any surface to which it is applied and thus adds an additional layer of protection to the road surface, where by water will run off rather than seep through and allow erosion to start.  It is also non-dissipating and will not run off with rainfall.  Its UV resistant properties allow it to remain effective even under the harsh sun conditions of Southern Africa and the Middle East.

Dries Flexible

The resulting surface is a flexible matrix which allows the surface to give rather than crack and allow erosion and the formation of potholes.

Non-Leaching – will not leach into water table

The product is non-leaching and will not leach into soils or water tables, this has been proven by extensive environmental tests.  This important aspect allows mines to decrease their future liabilities in terms of closure and remediation costs.

Self Mixing and Self Penetrating

The product is self-mixing and requires no extra mixing equipment.  It is simple and easy to apply.

Long Term Effectiveness

The key advantage of copolymers originates with the long and relatively straight molecular structure consisting up to 1,000,000 molecules in length that are linked and cross linked together, this allows the product to continue to perform for long periods of time with an accumulative effect.  Once applied the product will perform for 12-24 months depending upon the applicataion rate used, and does not have to be continuously re-applied like most other products in the market place.  The maintenance applications are typically 30-50% of the original amount used, and as the effect is accumulative (like cement) the maintenance requirements are less each time.

Its long period of effectiveness thus allows for significantly reduced future maintenance as well as no requirement for on site designated equipment and vehicles, thereby reducing capital costs as well. In addition to significantly reduced water consumption.

Added Soil Stabilization

When applied as a surface seal it will serve as a primary dust suppressant, it will strengthen and seal the surface and the result will be effective dust suppression and protection from erosion allowing for with a superior surface, improved riding surface, decreased rolling resistance, and extended life.

Product Containers & Storage

This product is required to be stored at temperatures above 5° C .  Product comes in 1,040 litre liquid mini bulk containers. Containers can be rinsed out an re-used or collected by Soil & Dust Solutions.
