Product Advantages

ESS products are low cost construction materials that can be used as a tool to improve living conditions.

  • Reduces soil expansiveness
  • Increase soil density and load bearing capacity
  • Provides soil stability for heavy equipment traffic on construction sites
  • Prevents common stabilization problems
  • Roadways: Reduces the occurrence of ruts, frost heaves, pot holes, and related problems
  • Substantially reduces cost of construction
  • ESS roads can be constructed using local materials
  • Sub-grade stability reduces need for excavation and thickness of aggregate and other road building materials (road thickness)
  • Lowers road maintenance costs
  • Resists water penetration, weathering and wear
  • Products are designed to maximize the potential of soil's characteristics while eliminating the generation of hazardous substances.
  • Processes allow energy and resource conservation
  • Limits dust and surface material loss
  • Reduces dust, improves health (asbestos, mine dumps).
  • Contains pollutants and toxins in refuse dumps, protecting underground water supplies.
  • Clean drinking water improves health
  • Improved infrastructure stimulates economic growth
  • Job creation improves standard of living
  • Products and customers can get to the market place with better roads
  • Better roads reduce accidents and damage to vehicles.
  • Irrigation water provides food and nutrients in dry periods or arid regions
  • Reduces erosion or flood damage (protects wetlands).
  • ESS products are inert and ecologically friendly

Savings

EcoRoad Africa can offer these affordable natural road building services and can out-perform conventional road builders in:

Construction Cost Reduction
  • 30% to 40% cost savings over equivalent traditional paved roads
  • Double-course chip seal savings are 30% to 40%
Construction Time
  • Roads (1 Km) are constructed in 1-3 days depending on conditions
  • Roads are drivable after construction in 24 hours (light traffic)
Maintenance Cost Reduction
  • 40% to 50% of all production roads
  • Reduces maintenance of secondary roads without asphalt topping from 2-3 times per year to maybe once every 5 to 10 years
Minimum Special Equipment Needed
  • Grader, water truck, and compactor
Ease of Application
  • Soluble in water
Superior Performance
  • Catalytically bonds soil particles like cement
  • Dense permanent road sub-base, base & surface
  • Lowers surface tension of water
  • Resists water penetration, weathering and wear
  • Greater compaction
  • Use of less expensive base
  • Can be applied in wide weather ranges
Long Life Span
Will Not Clog or Harm Equipment
  • Actually cleans tanks, nozzles and equipment
Super-Concentrated
  • Minimize storage and shipping costs
  • Shipped in 5-gallon containers anywhere quickly
