Stabilization: The stabilization method requires scarification of the soil down to the required depth of desired stabilization. This can be accomplished with a grader or with an offset disk behind a tractor.
Once the soil has been well scarified or disked, you will start adding the mixture of MaxxSeal with water. As the water truck makes its passes you will want to disk the soil between each pass in order to evenly mix the polymer/water solution with the soil. Once complete you should have an evenly moistened soil that is ready for shaping. Before rolling you will want to use the grader to smooth the soil and reshape for proper drainage. You will not want to dig deeply as to bring in untreated soil. If you see that the color of the moistened soil is uneven you will want to check for dry sections and re-moisten as needed. Once you are satisfied with the evenness of the moisture and shape of the road you will start to compact with a roller. As soon as the soil is rolled you can open the road up to traffic. The additional traffic will help to compact the road even further and make it extremely solid. After allowing the road to dry for a while you will use the water truck to apply the final topical coat. This will seal the surface and add to abrasion resistance. |
Dust Control: The second method is a simple topical application. This is primarily used for high traffic areas where dust control is the main concern. The soil for this application is typically loose on the surface yet well compacted in the lower sections and will not require scarification. This allows the road to remain open at all times. The process is used widely by mines and other high traffic operations where they do not want to stop traffic or add undue work.
We start this application by preparing the surface of the road. This is an essential step for a successful operation. The objective is to remove loose rocks, fines, and other material that can cause premature failure of the application. If this step is skipped you will be creating the need to use more product than necessary. In order to accomplish this we recommend using a grader with the blade gently touching the surface of the road. You will be scraping only about one centimeter of material off to the side. Once the road is scraped you will be ready to start the application. One advantage to this method is that you do not need to interrupt mine haul truck traffic and the water truck program already in place can be used to bring the road to the dust free level. On the day that the program starts we will simply be adding a designated amount of product to each water truck before it goes about its normal routine. To make it simple the amount added will always be in container increments. This simplifies the operation so that there are no unwanted delays. As stated before, the water operation of the mine will continue as normal giving the material time to dry between applications. Haul trucks and other traffic will help press the material into the road causing the polymer to penetrate into the base. After a few passes with the water truck you will reach a point at which watering is no longer needed. The end result is a, hard, compact, dust free, erosion and wash boarding proof road. |
