Soil stabilisation for road construction
Soil stabilisation technology
TERRA-3000® is a natural, ecologically clean stabilisation process for all road categories.

Why TERRA-3000®
The existing soil becomes the base course
Roads deteriorate through water, frost and point loads. TERRA-3000® compacts the existing soil into a load-bearing, waterproof layer, faster, cheaper and more durable than conventional construction.

Benefits of the technology
Construction time 2 – 3× shorter
The surface layer can be applied the next day instead of after weeks.
Construction time 2 – 3× shorter
Surface layer the next day instead of after weeks.
Up to 50% less material
Strong stabilisation without large aggregate imports.
Up to 60% lower transport costs
Far less logistics, a smaller CO₂ footprint. Depends on the location of the quarries.
More than double the load capacity
Loads far above the level of ordinary roads.
Water and frost resistant
Weather independent, can be applied in rain and wind.
Environmentally safe
Natural product, no impact on groundwater.
Water impermeability test
After 12 hours in water, the treated soil is still standing

Process
Three steps on site
No excavation. The work is done with standard road construction machinery: grader, tanker, soil stabiliser and rollers of 20 tonnes or more.
1
2Applying TERRA-3000®
- Prepare the working solution and apply it with a stabiliser or sprayer
- Mix thoroughly with the soil
- Compact intensively with rollers of 20 tonnes or more
3Protective layer
- Before the final roller pass, once the profile is shaped
- Milled asphalt, stone screenings or gravel
- Then asphalt or a simple reinforcement, depending on use

FAQ
In Comparison
How does TERRA-3000® differ from polymer stabilisers?
Polymer methods often also use cement or lime to bind the soil. TERRA-3000® is a catalytic ion exchanger that activates the natural binding forces of the existing soil, without cement, lime or polymer.
How does TERRA-3000® differ from traditional construction?
Traditionally, the ground is excavated down to frost depth and rebuilt with imported gravel. TERRA-3000® stabilises the existing soil on site without excavation, and the surface layer can be applied the next day.
Does TERRA-3000® work in desert regions?
Yes. In the laboratory of FH Münster University of Applied Sciences, pure desert sand was bound with TERRA-3000® under a simulated warm climate into a load-bearing layer that reliably meets the subgrade requirement. The existing sand thus becomes a load-bearing substructure.
About us
