TERRACEM, TERRAFLOW & TERCEM
TerraCem™
TerraCem™ is a specialized engineered blend of cementitious and other construction materials commonly used to improve the strength, volume stability, and durability of road base and/or sub-grade.
TerraCem™ can be used effectively in soil drying, compaction, and stabilization and can reduce the shrink–swell potential of high plasticity clays, making otherwise problematic soils and materials a viable base or sub-grade material. Correct application improves shear strength and sub-grade support and reduces compressibility of both cohesive soils and granular materials.
- Utilization of site materials
- Recycling existing pavement structure
- Optimizes use/reuse of material, including cementitious materials
- Saves energy and natural resources
- Superior performance in clay-bearing soils
- Chemically binds contaminants within the soil structure, reducing leaching
TerraCem™ is formulated to work with soils to meet the unique needs of the road building and soil treatment industries and is not suitable for use in concrete or concrete product applications.
- Construction of oil well working pads and access roads
- Cement Treated Base where aggregate resources are scarce
- Full Depth Reclamation of existing pavement structure
- Stabilization of aggregate bases
- Stabilization of contaminated soils
- Deep soil and cutter soil mixing methods for ground improvement
- Soil drying
- Superior performance when used with sulphide/sulphate-bearing materials commonly found in mine tailings
- Potential binder reductions in some circumstances
- Allows for more efficient and cost-effective backfilling in underground mines
- Optimizes use/reuse of material, including cementitious materials
- Elimination of tailing detention and/or disposal requirement
- Pre-blended before arriving on site to promote maximum working efficiency and reduce site equipment
- requirements
- Blend proportions may be varied according to specific requirements as determined by preliminary testing
- Saves energy and natural resources
- Superior performance in clay-bearing soils
- Underground stope backfill with paste or rock
- Underground Zinc, Gold, Copper, Silver and Lead mines
- Jet grouting cut off walls and piles
- Deep soil and cutter soil mixing methods for ground improvement
- Construction of caisson and secant wall piling
TerraFlow™ is formulated to work with mine backfill material to meet the unique needs of the underground mining industry and is not suitable for use in concrete, concrete products, or shotcrete applications.
