Moisture Elimination

Polymer bonds with clay fines to permanently seal the subgrade against water ingress — the primary cause of road failure.

Increased CBR Values

California Bearing Ratio improvements of 200–400% are routinely achieved, dramatically increasing structural capacity.

In-Situ Stabilisation

Existing pavement materials are reused on-site, eliminating costly cartage and reducing construction waste.

Extended Service Life

Treated roads demonstrate 3–5× longer service life compared to untreated granular pavements under equivalent traffic loading.

Reduced Carbon Footprint

No quarried aggregate import required. Lower transport movements and material consumption reduce embodied carbon significantly.

Rapid Construction

Full treatment and compaction completed in a single pass. Roads are trafficable within 24–48 hours of treatment.

01

Pavement Assessment

Geotechnical investigation determines existing material properties, plasticity index, moisture content and subgrade bearing capacity. Product selection and application rates are specified.

02

Scarification & Mixing

The existing pavement is scarified to the design depth (typically 150–300 mm). EcoSmart polymer is applied via calibrated spreader and mixed thoroughly with the in-situ material.

03

Compaction & Sealing

The treated layer is compacted to specification using vibratory rollers. A wearing course seal is applied to protect the stabilised layer from surface water and UV degradation.
