Eco-Friendly Road & Parking Area Upgrade with EBS

Soil & Dust Solutions, the South African Agent of Soil Solutions, was contracted to upgrade the existing gravel roads and parking areas within the Estate. The objective was to create a more durable, low-maintenance surface that blends seamlessly with the surrounding environment, enhancing the natural beauty and functionality of the Estate.

Project Execution:

 Site Assessment & Testing – Road samples were collected and sent for laboratory testing to determine the optimal EBS mix ratio.
 Surface Preparation – The roadbed and parking areas were planed and milled to a pre-determined depth, ensuring homogeneous mixing of in-situ material.
 Material Refinement – All stones and debris exceeding 50mm were removed to improve surface uniformity.
 Customized Mixing Process – Due to road width limitations and tree cover, a tractor and rotovator were used for mixing, and EBS was manually sprayed.
 Final Shaping & Compaction – A tractor and box blade were used for precise surface shaping, followed by compaction with a vibrating roller to ensure a strong, even finish.

EBS Surface Seal Application:

 Manual Application in Tight Areas – For controlled distribution around trees and narrow sections.
 Pump & Spray Bar Application – Ensured even coverage across wider road sections.
 Weather & UV Protection – Seals the surface against erosion, moisture infiltration, and sun damage.

Outstanding Benefits of the EBS-Treated Road:

 Blends Naturally with the Environment – A flexible, natural-looking road that enhances the estate’s aesthetics.
 UV & Water-Resistant – Protects against weathering, erosion, and freeze-thaw cycles.
 Increased Skid Resistance – Improves traction and safety for vehicles.
 Wildlife & Eco-Friendly – Safe for vegetation, animals, and surrounding ecosystems.
 Zero Maintenance Required – No future grading or watering needed, significantly reducing upkeep costs.

The final result is a beautifully integrated, durable, and sustainable road surface that enhances the usability and atmosphere of the Estate while requiring minimal maintenance.
