THE BENEFITS SMR DELIVERS
PERFORMANCE BENEFITS
SMR Binders can be used with all site won materials, apart from Organic materials.
-
SMR allows for reduced capping/sub-base layer thickness due to its high performing structure.
-
SMR Binders consistently achieves high CBR Strengths of 30% + depending on the process, soil type and mix ratio used.
-
Once compacted, SMR will cure rapidly and become even stronger and more durable over time.
-
The compacted form of SMR is non-permeable as its created a monolithic structure & thus there would be no leachability though the structural layer.
SOCIAL & ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS
-
Reduced import and export of material to and from site by recycling site won material reduces the number of vehicle movements.
-
Preservation of our landfills.
-
Reduced CO2 emissions saving on carbon footprint.
-
Less congestion and disruption to the local community.
-
A reduction in programme time.
-
The requirement for geogrid is removed by using SMR.
-
SMR Binders are not harmful to soils and our reversable process can restore land to its original PH values and soil properties to allow for re-growth.
-
Agriculture is unharmed by the intervention of infrastructure.
COST SAVING
-
No import of Aggregates and no exporting of material off site saving on landfill and aggregate tax
-
Increased productivity
-
Reduced programme time – projects delivered in a timely way saving on costs
