Mining Haul Roads – EL-Quarto SSS
Built for Heavy Loading, High Dust, and Constant Traffic
Mining haul roads demand extreme structural integrity. EL-Quarto SSS strengthens in-situ material, increases bearing capacity, and reduces deformation from heavy trucks. It also forms a hardened surface matrix that dramatically lowers dust without losing grip.
Challenges of Mining Roads
- Heavy axle loads
- Rapid surface wear
- High dust generation
- Soft or mixed soils
- Constant maintenance downtime
EL-Quarto SSS solves these issues by reinforcing the entire soil layer.
How It Works
- Bonds soil particles into a dense, compactable structure
- Delivers exceptional load-bearing strength
- Reduces rutting and shear failure
- Forms a dust-resistant surface crust
- Improves safety and visibility
Two Application Methods
1. Rip-In / Mix-In for Full Depth Stabilization
Ideal for haul roads with deep structural issues.
- Mix the solution into the road layer
- Compact to high density
- Build a stronger, water-resistant road platform
2. Spray-On Surface Treatment
Perfect for dust control and surface hardening.
- Quick application
- Hardens the wearing course
- Reduces surface damage and fines loss
Benefits
- Higher haul truck speeds
- Lower tyre wear
- Fewer re-grading cycles
- Better fuel efficiency
- Reduced dust exposure
- Longer-lasting running surfaces
Where Used
- Open-pit mines
- Quarry roads
- Overburden routes
