TERRA-3000® - Fix
High Quality Construction Material "Mixed-in-Plant"
Loam is a cohesive mixture of clay, silt and sand is the oldest and best building material, as is confirmed by hundreds of years old buildings of clay bricks worldwide. The only disadvantage of this material is the low resistance against water. Strength and load capacity are tremendously reduced, caused by the high water absorbency of this material. Solutions for this problem were investigated since hundreds of years and technologies were developed to reduce the water absorbency, like brick-burning procedures or addition of cement or lime.
About 25 ago, during series of compaction trails with soil materials among high pressure conditions and treated with our special developed catalyst - TERRA-3000®, we observed improved compressibility and high resistance of water resistance, as a result of tremendously reduced capillary action.
TERRA-3000® worked with more than 1500 soil samples, taken all over the world, with a certain clay content (particle sizes < 0,002 mm).
Methods
Soil preparations with TERRA-3000® can be processed by two methods:
On-site mixing procedure by means of mobile soil stabilizer with milling rotor
"Mixed in Plant" applications

Construction material, treated with TERRA-3000®, for various applications (clay bricks, roads, embankments, storage areas, etc.) can be mixed in a plant and provided according to the respective requirements. (figure 1)
Adventures of a Mixing Plant
Constant high-quality construction material (constant material composite - clay and moisture content can be adapted to fit the needs)
Material is "ready-to-use" - for quick application on site
Simplified laboratory tests and material investigations - extensive homogeneous excavation area ensures constant material structure
