Chemical soil stabilization: more bearing capacity, less maintenance.
HYGT products modify the existing soil instead of replacing it. They are added to the compaction water or sprayed onto the shaped surface, turning a dirt road into a structure with bearing capacity that resists water, heavy traffic and freeze–thaw cycles. Less imported material, less watering, less grader time.

Six steps on the existing road.
Preparation
Remove topsoil and add fill material.
Drainage
Clear ditches and side drains.
Scarifying
Grader and disc harrow.
Dosing
The product goes into the watering truck.
Mixing
Until optimum moisture is reached.
Finishing
Shaping, compaction and sealing.
Sequence recorded on Provincial Route 31, Carmen de Areco · Highway Authority of the Province of Buenos Aires · Crushed stone, slag or millings can optionally be added at 25–30 kg/m² before sealing.
The practical difference on the road.
- Bearing capacity.The road carries heavy traffic without rutting or losing its shape.
- Less dust.Better visibility, less filter wear and less exposure for personnel.
- Trafficable in the rain.The sealed surface keeps the road from being cut off.
- Less maintenance.Grading, material top-ups and constant watering all become less frequent.
- Fuel and tyres.Up to −7% fuel and +12% tyre life.
- Productivity.Between +2.2% and +5.0% on haul cycles, as declared by the manufacturer.
Mining, energy and public works.
Mining
Haul and access roads, platforms and stockpile yards.
Oil and gas
Well pad roads, site access and containment berms.
Public works and rural
Municipal and provincial roads, plant access, dairy farms, silos and quarries, slopes and channels.
One visit to the road and one soil sample.
With that we define the product, the dose and the expected performance, and put together a proposal with a cost per kilometre. For the monitoring line we arrange a live demo of the platform on one of your vehicles.
