The Problem
Why Roads Fail
Roads do not fail because the surface wears out — they fail because the layers beneath the surface lose their structural integrity. Water infiltrates the pavement, weakens the base materials, reduces bearing capacity, and eventually leads to expensive reconstruction.
EcoSmart stabilises the entire structural pavement layer — creating a stronger, moisture-resistant foundation capable of supporting heavy traffic and harsh environmental conditions.
The EcoSmart Stabilisation Process
howItWorks.processTitle
The EcoSmart methodology follows internationally recognised pavement construction practices while incorporating our advanced polymer stabilisation technology.
Step 01 — Pavement Assessment
Every Great Road Starts with Understanding the Ground
Before any construction begins, our engineering team evaluates the existing pavement to determine the right approach for your specific conditions.
- Soil classification
- Plasticity Index (PI)
- Moisture content
- Existing pavement thickness
- Traffic loading requirements
- Drainage conditions
- Material suitability for stabilisation
Step 02 — Product Selection
Selecting the Right Solution
Different pavement materials require different stabilisation approaches. Our product range covers the full spectrum of soil plasticity conditions.
- ES21L — PI below 12: crushed rock, gravel, highway and airport pavements
- ES11L — PI 12–20: clay gravels, silty gravels, rural and regional roads
- ES100 — Challenging soils: heavy clay, mining, major infrastructure projects
Advanced Polymer Stabiliser for Low Plasticity Materials
Plasticity Index (PI): Less than 12
Polymer Stabiliser for Medium Plasticity Materials
Plasticity Index (PI): 12–20
High Performance Polymer Stabilisation System
Specialised stabilisation applications
Step 03 — Pavement Preparation
Preparing the Foundation
Existing pavement materials are prepared using conventional stabilisation techniques before polymer application begins.
- Surveying and setting out
- Traffic management
- Identifying underground services
- Shaping the pavement
- Removing unsuitable material where necessary
- Establishing the required stabilisation depth

During stabilisation, the polymer bonds with clay fines within the pavement material, producing a treated layer that:
Because EcoSmart polymers are insoluble, they remain permanently within the pavement structure, delivering long-term performance even under severe weather conditions. Treated pavements remain flexible, require low application rates (typically around 1.5% by dry mass), are compatible with conventional stabilising equipment, and can be remixed during future rehabilitation.

EcoSmart polymer technology has demonstrated exceptional performance across a wide range of infrastructure types. Documented field applications show decades of pavement performance, including projects such as the Newell Highway and McNamara Road, with significant improvements in CBR values and long-term durability. Stabilised pavements have continued performing well years beyond their theoretical design life.
