Ge-NANO NME (MODIFIED EMULSION)
Soil Stabilisation
Ge-NANO NME (MODIFIED EMULSION)
The proven concept of these New- Age modifying agents in emulsions (NME) has been demonstrated with the scientific testing and use of NME stabilisation of in- situ materials (ranging from G5 to G8 materials) in the design and construction of several roads. Accelerated pavement testing (APT) or HVS (Heavy Vehicle Simulator) have also been completed on these roads.
Based on the scientific design approach followed through the analysis of the mineralogy of the materials and designing of a material-compatible modifying agent, the results of these tests far exceeded the engineering requirements. This further resulted in considerable cost savings (materials as well as time of construction).
The general acceptance of new technologies lies in both the value for money and the ease of use, lending themselves to be used to maximise labour-enhanced construction.
Applications here range from simple road construction using basic equipment (Water Cart, Grader and compaction equipment) to sophisticated equipment using recyclers or central mixing plants.
