Innovative, Sustainable And Cost-Effective Soil Stabilization

Issue at a Glance

Subgrade regularization and backfill layers must be stable so that infrastructure isn’t compromised by heavy rains and transportation. In addition, high CBR ground conditions are necessary to reduce maintenance of the surface. Traditional methods to achieve these goals require substantial water usage and high operational costs.

Overview of Extrac Tech's Product

SoilTech is our innovative biopolymer solution for soil stabilization. It is designed to improve soil mechanical properties and increase cohesion in particle agglomeration in the treated area.

HOW IT WORKS

  1. SoilTech is diluted so it chemically reacts with the minerals present in the soil, forming a new, more resistant and compact structure—in addition to increasing the soil's impermeability.
  2. SoilTech acts as a stabilizer when applied in the soil, significantly improving its mechanical properties and greatly reducing the amount of water required compared to traditional methods.
  3. It is water-soluble, can be diluted directly in the water tanker, and is easy to apply.
  4. SoilTech can be used effectively on any type of soil, such as clayey, silt, sandy, etc. It increases soil cohesion, effectively eliminating airborne dust emissions.

BENEFITS

  1. WATER REDUCTION: Significantly reduces the amount of water needed in the process compared to other conventional techniques.
  2. ENVIRONMENTALLY SAFE: Produced from algae and free from chemical contaminants that could impact the environment.
  3. OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY: Simplified application and no extra machinery required for faster construction timelines.

Extrac Tech Solution

Our non-toxic, inert* solidification reagents convert tunneling and drilling spoils to a manageable solid, on-site, in minutes. The solidified waste can then pass Slump and Paint Filter Tests, and typically requires a dose of less than 1.0% wt/wt.

The solidified slurry is transferred to dump trucks to be transported directly to the final disposal site. It reduces risks, lowers operational costs, and promotes a safer, more sustainable waste management approach in tunneling projects.
