These techniques often rely on substantial water usage, leading to high operational costs and extended project timelines. To overcome these issues, there was a need for a more sustainable and cost-effective solution that could rapidly stabilize the soil while staying within budget and meeting project deadlines.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #f36c21;\">Solution<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>In this study, MetaFLO applied 0.01% of SoilTech biopolymer to a 280x12x0.35 m3 track, to demonstrate the technology\u2019s potential for road stabilization. When diluted directly in a water truck and applied to the track, SoilTech binds with the soil, forming a hydrogel while improving the soil\u2019s mechanical properties after it cures. The treated soil exhibited increased mass density, better compaction, enhanced layer stabilization, and improved impermeability.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a
