Nanoalps® System SOIL is an environmentally-friendly and non-toxic polymer additive that transforms even unsuitable and earth of inferior quality into valuable construction material. The water soluble material consolidates and stabilizes the earth in combination with hydraulic binders.

    Usage of Nanoalps® System SOIL
    Usage of Nanoalps® System SOIL

    Nanoalps® System SOIL enables the use of existing road and surface constructions already on site, even if they are of poor quality, and more besides; in fact, the nanotechnological polymer additive can make a real improvement to construction materials associated with hydraulic systems.


    It reduces the cost of transporting the materials, improves on the mechanical and chemical properties, and purifies contaminated soil.

  • Properties overview

    • Consolidation, stabilization and toughening of roadways and base courses, whether in the new construction business or the restoration of roads
    • Inerting and immobilization of contaminated grounds
    • Binding with fresh and salt water and even with organic grounds (earth, silt, clay) possible
    • Reduction in material-, transportation- and construction costs up to 30% possible, due to usability of on-site material and avoiding the transporting away of material
    • Improvement in the elasticity and compressive strength of construction materials
    • Higher resistance to frost
    • Reduction in the water absorbance capacity
    • Stabilization of road embankments
    • Drastic reduction in construction time through faster binding and building process
    • After 24 hours the road is often already passable
    • Usable also without asphalt if needed
    • Also applicable at low temperatures

Application areas

Application areas of System SOIL

Nanoalps® System SOIL is also usable with contaminated earth in combination with hydraulic binders and thereby immobilizes harmful substances. In addition to that, it is suitable for the following areas:

  • Base layer for national roads, state roads and highways
  • Carparks, cycle tracks and foot paths
  • Forest roads, country paths and skiing areas
  • Foundations and access roads to construction sites
  • Nature protected areas and protected landscapes
  • Construction of hard shoulders by avoiding slip circles
  • Storage areas and container platforms
  • Harbours and airports
  • Dams, dykes and water reservoirs

Technology

  • Compact soil structure
