Stabilizing soil is a critical step for achieving better outcomes in any construction project, whether it’s a road or a building site. The process of soil stabilization itself can be challenging, and this is compounded by the need to manage erosion, especially in areas with loose or weak soil. Erosion control is therefore essential. While implementing erosion control methods can be a cumbersome task, EP&A Envirotac Inc. offers a solution specifically designed to eliminate the time and labor typically spent on managing erosion in unstable areas, ultimately enhancing productivity on the job site. This blog presents the optimal solution to assist in making your construction project more efficient and effective.
Problems Of Constructing On Eroding Soil
Construction is inherently a challenging task, and this becomes even more daunting when dealing with erosion-prone land. Projects on loose soil face numerous complications, making the job tougher to accomplish.
Foundational Instability
The prime issue with constructing eroding soil is the lack of stability that it possesses. This is very critical for the foundational support of any project undertaken on it. Buildings and roads built on it face settlement, shifting, or collapse due to the weak stability of the soil. to withstand erosion.
Structural Damage
Erosion of soil holds the ability to weaken the soil’s capacity to bear loads that lead to structural damage over time. Cracks, tilting, and uneven settlement in buildings and on roads are common consequences.
Slope Failure
Construction on eroding soil, especially on slopes, can trigger landslides or slope failures. The soil’s inability to retain its structure may result in sudden movements of the earth, endangering buildings and inhabitants on the road.
Environmental Impact
Erosion of soil can lead to sediment runoff, affecting nearby water bodies, ecosystems, and various other habitats. Construction on such soil can exacerbate these environmental impacts.
Water Damage
Eroding soil often has poor drainage characteristics, leading to water accumulation around foundations. This can cause further erosion, weaken the foundation, and potentially damage the structure of buildings and roads making it difficult to operate in such areas.
Erosion Control Plus
Erosion Control Plus, an eco-friendly polymer erosion control product, utilizes environmentally safe chemicals and advanced nanotechnology with acrylic copolymer to enhance and strengthen soil properties. This product forms a micro-structure within the soil, improving particle bonds and creating a durable membrane that protects against future wear and tear, thus preventing erosion. Erosion Control Plus stands out as a polymer solution that effectively restores eroding soil with minimal cost and effort. Envirotac’s erosion control polymer has demonstrated its superiority in C-factor tests, outperforming traditional methods typically used in road construction.
Benefits Of Choosing Erosion Control Plus
Erosion Control Plus has various benefits proven to provide results faster and more effectively than the competition, which is why we recommend using this erosion control product in your construction projects.
Increased Load Bearing Strength
The acrylic copolymer used in Erosion Control Plus has been designed specifically to bind the soil particles together and strengthen them by creating a microstructure tough enough to bear all types of load on it with total ease.
No Sediment Loss
Sedimented soil is a by-product of erosion which runs off in bulks in case of any FOD which can cause hefty loss to all types of construction projects on such soil. With the use of erosion control products, sediment created near the eroded soil is bound together to provide volume and more strength to the land for operations and commuting on the land.
Water Resistance
Water damage is the prime enemy of eroding soil that withers away the loose sand in bulks cracking away the roads and land. This is easily treated by a single application of erosion control plus on such land that makes the soil water resistant and effective and reliable to commute.
Easy Application
Erosion Control Plus is an erosion control solution that is easiest to apply and effective with a single application since there is no agitator required in the application process of this erosion control polymer.
Conclusion
EP&A Envirotac’s Erosion Control Plus represents more than a solution that embodies a commitment to preserving our natural resources while facilitating construction. Its role in erosion control surpasses mere functionality by also offering a testament to innovation in harmony with environmental stewardship. Using Envirotac’s Erosion Control Plus signifies a step towards sustainable construction practices, facilitating progress and preservation of the environment with effective sustainable development of our road construction.
