Eko Soil application requires no special plant or equipment and follows standard gravel road construction protocols.
Samples of the existing material are analysed for PI, Gradation and Moisture. This data provides the basis for geo-technical design.
Eko Soil is applied through the water truck, and based on geotech design requirements in a typical road analysis one litre of Eko Soil will stabilise 30 cubic metres of road material.
Standard road-making equipment is all that is required – a grader with ripper, water truck and vibrating steel drum roller. (Use of a roto-mill will dramatically reduce mixing time – one pass with a roto-mill will substitute for seven or eight passes with a grader).
Using a roto-mill, 1 kilometre x 6 metre wide x 150mm deep road can be laid in a day. The road can be opened to light traffic the next day, although full curing takes three days. |
