CON-AID Application Process
Methodology

Application Process

The application of CON-AID / CBR PLUS is designed to be straightforward, utilizing standard road construction equipment. By following this standardized methodology, you ensure the ionic soil stabilizer permeates effectively, delivering maximum compaction and permanent, long-lasting durability for your infrastructure project.
01

Soil Analysis

Soils are classified in accordance with the AASTHO soil classification. A 300g sample is analyzed to determine soil reactivity to specify the correct application rate.
02

Site Preparation

Shape the surface to final levels and allow for proper drainage. Scarify to a depth of 150 mm and break down all lumps of material.
03

CON-AID Application

Add CON-AID / CBR PLUS to water at a ratio of 1:250. Apply solution evenly to achieve a soil moisture content ± 1% above optimum. For heavy clays, leave 2-3 days to permeate.
04

Compaction

Commence compaction at ± 1% above optimum moisture content. A vibrator, sheep’s foot, or normal roller can be used initially, finished off with a pneumatic compactor.
05

Curing

Spray the surface with clean water at daily intervals for 7 - 10 days. If rainfall occurs immediately after, surface slipperiness is normal – simply allow the material to dry.

Scarify Soil
Step 01

Scarify Soil

Break down lumps and rip the soil to the required depth of 150mm.
Dilute & Apply
Step 02

Dilute & Apply

Mix CON-AID 1:250 with water and spray evenly over the prepared section.
Mix Thoroughly
Step 03

Mix Thoroughly

Blade mix the treated soil to ensure homogeneous moisture content.
Grade & Shape
Step 04

Grade & Shape

Shape the road to final levels, allowing for proper camber and drainage.
Compact
Step 05

Compact

Use a vibrator or sheep's foot roller, finishing with a pneumatic compactor.
Cure
Step 06

Cure

Lightly spray the surface with water daily for 7 - 10 days to prevent drying out.

Maintenance
& Repairs Made Easy

If a treated road is damaged, no re-treatment is required unless new untreated soil is introduced. The road re-compacts and performs as if newly constructed.
Compaction
Re-grade the affected area
Replace the treated material
Re-compact mechanically or via traffic
