ECOROADS - Enzyme-based Soil Stabilization
World finest product for the environment responsible road construction and soil stabilization. ECOROADS is the product of several years of research and development by a team of scientists, engineers and road construction professionals from USA and Europe of both the biological and lab-engineered components of ECOROADS. We proudly offer a biomass-based, ecologically responsible road construction and soil stabilization product that helps clients save money, simplify construction processes and reduce their environmental impact.By significantly reducing or eliminating the need for imported aggregate materials, ECOROADS® saves up to 60% on the cost of building a road. If 10%-35% cohesive fines (silts and clays) are present in a soil mix, ECOROADS® can be mixed directly with 6” of soil mix to create a strong and durable road base. During construction of the road base ECOROADS® can stabilize and solidify local soil mix, increase soil strength, stability and durability, further reducing in some cases thickness for required asphalt or concreate topping layer.
ECOROADS® “cementation” action increases the soil bearing characteristics by promoting a quicker binding of soil particles. The application of ECOROADS® binds soil particles into a highly dense base, increasing strength and load bearing capacity (as measured by CBR, UCS and MR). The application of ECOROADS® creates road base with strong ability to resist the damaging effects of erosion and mechanical forces.
ECOROADS® is applied in four easy steps:
- Grade or rip the road to a depth of 7-8", place a graded material to the side in a windrow.
- Add ECOROADS® to the water in a water truck and spray mixed solution onto the road base and windrow, as you would to bring soil to optimum moisture for compaction.
- Mix treated soil with a tiller or mixing machine, or by grading the soil material back and forth across the road.
- Place treated by ECOROADS® windrowed material back on the road and then compact the road to required density making sure to crown the road for proper drainage.
ECOROADS® is easy to apply and requires no special equipment or application procedures. Simply add the ECOROADS® liquid concentrate to water, apply with a sprayer truck, and mix into the soil by road grader or other available equipment, then compact treated soil. It can be used with reclaiming machines or applied with regular road building equipment.
ECOROADS® can be applied over a wide weather and locale range - from near freezing to hot summer, from rainy climate to dry desert, from mountain top to deepest mine.
Secondary roads without an asphalt topping require frequent maintenance (up to 1-2 times per year). With ECOROADS®, maintenance can be reduced to as little as once every 3-5 years. Since there is no need to use imported aggregate materials, the cost and labor time of maintenance can be reduced by up to 60%.
ECOROADS® is a non-toxic and non-corrosive liquid concentrate. ECOROADS® is sold in 5 gallon pails or 55 gallon drums. No special containment procedures, no special storage requirements and no special storage handling equipment are necessary. It does not irritate skin tissue and causes no rash or bum.
ECOROADS® has proven to be effective and been successfully used for many kinds of roads in projects around the globe from the freezing north to the hot and dry south climates, from rainy tropical forests to mountain tops, and from the deepest mines to the busiest cities. ECOROADS® has been used with various soil types and geological conditions and has been recognized with considerable success by road builders, general contractors and geotechnical consultants all over the world.
ECOROADS® has excelled in numerous independent lab tests across the globe. According to independent tests completed by government and non-government civil engineering laboratories ECOROADS® proved to increase CBR of a local soils from 38% up to 350%.

General Road Construction
As the world grows in population and becomes increasingly interconnected, infrastructure needs grow ever more. In developing countries, road networks have deteriorated and will require significant investments over the next several years. Many countries have a strong need to build out their transportation networks to connect growing cities, ports and villages.
ECOROADS® helps accomplish this cost-effectively and save up to 40% in road building cost.
For ecologically sensitive projects that seek environmentally safe product and processes to keep their projects green, ECOROADS® becomes an easy choice. ECOROADS® is a non-toxic, non-corrosive, natural multi-enzyme product - no polycarbons , plastics or oil are used.
ECOROADS® usage profile allows for the use of simple equipment and in-situ soil, incomparably reducing time, cost and environmental impact
Energy, oil, gas and infrastructure companies are in a constant battle of cost reduction. They continuously have to build and maintain construction sites for new projects and thousands miles of service or connection roads in remote areas all over the world.
By significantly reducing or eliminating the need for imported aggregate material, ECOROADS® with in-situ soil and simple equipment can save up to 40% on the cost of building a secondary roads or fixing construction site territory without hard topping.
The most typical road problems are cracks, pot holes, and rutting. Caused by conditions on the top layer, a strong sub-base can mitigate these problems by slowing and reducing their spread. ECOROADS® strengthens the road bed and actually grows stronger over time. This mitigates damage below the road surface and ultimately reduces maintenance costs significantly.
ECOROADS® can significantly reduce road maintenance costs by up to 60%.
With several years of testing on mining roads all over the world the results and performance, shown by ECOROADS® have been stunning.
ECOROADS® provides the best value for sustainably performing eco-friendly product, that creates roads with ability to handle up to 15 tons per axel, with resistance to the abrasive action of traffic and dust prevention, reducing building cost by up to 40%.
Forest roads provide the most important means of accessing forests for timber harvesting, recreation, and hiking. They should be placed and maintained with extreme care to prevent any possible negative impact on soil or ecological balance.
For ecologically sensitive projects, ECOROADS® as a non-toxic, non-corrosive, 100%natural product that becomes the only choice for keeping forests clean and healthy.
Regardless where and when a military initiative is to be conducted, ECOROADS® is perfectly suited to support any military tasks. Military operations may require fast building of undetectable roads, base camps, helicopter pads, and airstrips.
ECOROADS® can convert local soil to road or hard base within 72 hours with minimum equipment involved and without the need for importing other road building materials, which eliminates additional trucking outside of a controlled area.
Green energy projects in constant challenge for keeping territory in original nature conditions, reduce environmental footprint in a process of building the facility and saving cost during continuous maintenance of the infrastructure.
ECOROADS® as a non-toxic, non-corrosive, 100%natural product becomes the only choice for ecologically sensitive projects for keeping surrounding land and roads infrastructure sustainable and clean, while reducing the cost of building and maintenance up to 60%.
- It is a world constant demand for cost-effective and environmentally safe dust suppressing solution for unpaved, gravel, agricultural, territorial or mining roads.
- ECOROADS® is able to provide unparalleled dust control solution while being both, cost effective and environmentally safe. Its unique concentrated liquid composition easily mixed with water prior to its application and can be applied with standard water truck
