Terra Plus is an innovative product for the permanent stabilization of soils, capable of improving the geotechnical characteristics of the ground in an effective and sustainable way.
It is a permanent eco-friendly liquid stabilizer, specifically designed to act on fine-grained soils such as clay and silt, modifying their internal structure to increase their bearing capacity and reduce plasticity.
Unlike traditional methods that use hydraulic binders such as lime and cement, Terra Plus does not alter the chemical composition of the soil but modifies its physical and mechanical properties.
This allows for the stabilization of the soil without negative environmental impacts and without generating harmful waste materials, and above all, it allows for the potential reuse of the treated soil for agricultural purposes.
The application of Terra Plus is quick and minimally invasive: the product is diluted in water and applied to the soil in situ, followed by mixing, triggering a process that reduces water absorption and increases soil density, providing the treated area with usability even during heavy rainfall.
This makes the soil more resistant to weather conditions and heavy loads, offering a long-term solution for soil stabilization.
The technology behind Terra Plus enables effective, permanent stabilization suitable for various environmental conditions. Its active ingredient directly affects the structure of fine particles, reducing their ability to retain water and enhancing cohesion.
One of Terra Plus’s most interesting features is the treatment depth achievable. Under standard conditions, stabilization can reach depths of 30–40 cm, but in certain cases and with proper compaction, the treatment can extend up to 80 cm. This means that, with the same stabilized thickness, Terra Plus offers superior bearing capacity compared to traditional stabilization methods with lime or cement.
Laboratory and field tests have demonstrated:
- An increase in the bearing capacity of the soil, making it more stable and durable over time.
- A drastic reduction in soil plasticity, which is particularly beneficial in infrastructure construction.
- Greater resistance to erosion and climatic variations, preventing cracking or premature degradation.
Thanks to these characteristics, Terra Plus is particularly suitable for infrastructure that requires a solid and durable base, even under difficult soil conditions.
Using Terra Plus offers numerous advantages over traditional soil stabilization systems. Conventional methods rely on the addition of lime, cement, or other hydraulic binders, with environmental and operational consequences that can be disadvantageous.
- Lower Environmental Impact
Using lime or cement results in high CO₂ emissions and the need to dispose of waste materials. Terra Plus, on the other hand, is an eco-friendly solution that does not produce special waste or alter the chemical composition of the soil. - Greater Efficiency and Cost Reduction
The application of Terra Plus is faster than traditional methods, reducing labor and soil handling costs. Additionally, with permanent stabilization, long-term maintenance costs are lower. - Superior Durability
Treatments with hydraulic binders may degrade over time due to freeze-thaw cycles, moisture variations, and water infiltration. Terra Plus, however, acts directly on the soil structure, ensuring a more durable and long-lasting stabilization.
Thanks to its technical characteristics and ease of application, Terra Plus has been successfully used in numerous projects, proving itself to be a versatile and effective solution.
It is used in several sectors, including:
- Road Construction and Temporary Construction Roads: It creates stable and resistant sub-bases without the need to remove existing soil.
- Infrastructure Works: It is used to stabilize soils for railway, road, and embankment projects.
- Agricultural Sector: Ideal for improving the bearing capacity of rural roads and reducing mud formation.
- Mining and Industrial Sector: Used to reduce dust in quarries, mines, and construction sites, improving working conditions and reducing environmental impact.
Success Stories
Several projects have demonstrated the effectiveness of Terra Plus in soil stabilization. A particularly notable case is its use for constructing temporary roads in a clayey construction site. After treatment with Terra Plus, the soil’s bearing capacity increased by 300%, allowing heavy vehicles to pass without deformation or settlement.
Another example involves stabilizing a port area prone to erosion. The application of Terra Plus resulted in a more compact and durable soil, reducing maintenance interventions and improving infrastructure safety.
Terra Plus is a tested product that meets the highest quality standards. Its performance has been verified through laboratory studies and real-world applications, ensuring reliable and measurable results.
The product has certifications that guarantee its safety and effectiveness, ensuring that its use is compatible with environmental and technical regulations. This makes it a safe choice for engineers, designers, and construction companies seeking an innovative and sustainable soil stabilization solution.
