Heavy duty road lasts longer
In 1975 a heavy-duty road was built in South Africa with CONSOLID and CONSERVEX for the soil stabilisation, using in-situ soil material. The road was in use during 5 years without any repair work done, nor required, carrying a total load of about 5 mio. tons of coal.

Subsequently it was abandoned 15 years ago and replaced by a railroad. In spite of not having been used for 10 years, (when the photo was taken), the road has not decayed and does not oven show signs of grass or shrub growth. Usually nature takes over such roads within months.
Since soil once treated with Consolid's soil stabilisation products remains treated and can be reused any time, it was planned to rip off the road and reapply the treated material some place else. However, the soil had turned to mineral concrete, so that the tooth of the ripping equipment were not able to rip open the soil layer - they merely scratched its surface. The pictures show this attempt at rousing the material performed In 1990 - and the resulting permanence of a soil treatment with the CONSOLID soil stabilisation system. |
