Australian Business Awards
Geo-Ionic is a liquid engineering product designed for soil stabilisation, improving pavement strength and reducing road maintenance costs. It's an Australian-made, patented solution, recipient of the Australian Business Award for the most Innovative Civil Engineering Product in 2021. GeoIonic™ is a 100% Australian made, technically advanced soil stabilisation compound that is demonstrably one of Australia's most exciting and innovative infrastructure products.
This unique compound was developed by Project Innovations in Sydney, Australia, specifically for use on roads and areas of vehicular traffic.The electro-chemical or “ionic” nature of GeoIonic™, improves the CBR of sub-grades, increases pavement tensile strength, and fortifies the road’s weight bearing capabilities.
GeoIonic has a powerful binding action on soil particles. It combines with the aggregates and fines to create a hard durable surface that resists surface abrasion and dusting. It increases compaction and density and reduces voids, thus reducing water penetration, swell, shrinkage, and plasticity thus reducing the damaging effects of wetting and drying cycles.
Geo-Ionic also acts as a compaction aid to increase density. The specialised compound creates a high level of surface activity and imparts an electrical charge that induces ionic exchange in clays with high cation exchange capacity. This action modifies the clay reducing its electrostatic attraction to water, enabling greater particle realignment to increase compaction and stabilise the clay.
Acting as an ionic soil stabiliser the principal action of GeoIonic is through its powerful ionic binding properties. The fines and aggregates are bound together electrostatically in roads treated with GeoIonic. The result is not as rigid as cement bonds, which makes concrete prone to cracking. GeoIonic allows for some flex and resilience, and therefore treated roads display the best characteristics of a bound pavement.
Application is very easy. One litre of GeoIonic will treat one cubic metre of unsealed road.
The process is to scarify the sub grade to a depth of 100mm or specification directed by the road engineer.
Dilute the GeoIonic compound in water and spray it onto the scarified surface using a water truck.
Mix the sub grade soil with a grader, windrow, shape and camber the road as per the design specifications.
Roll the road using a vibrating compacter. The treated surface is ready to drive on immediately.
HOW MUCH TO USE
As an example assume a one kilometre stretch of unsealed road, six (6) metres wide and one hundred (100) millimetres deep. Using our formula. 1000 X 6 X 0.1 = 0.6 M3 OR 600 Litres of GeoIonic We provide you with a simple mathematical formula to calculate the speed rate of your water tanker and that’s it… Its that easy.
The equipment required is only that typically found on any road construction site. A grader with ripper, a water tanker to apply the compound and a compacting roller.
APPLICATION FOR DUST SUPPRESSION
For dust control, only water spraying equipment is required. Mix 1 part GeoIonic road stabiliser compound to 1000 parts of water. We provide separate instructions for dust suppression.
GeoIonic’s patented electro-chemical or “ionic” nature, improves the CBR of sub-grades, increases pavement tensile strength, and fortifies a road’s weight bearing capabilities.
GeoIonic is a non toxic compound, and is agriculturally friendly. It has also ticked all the boxes when it comes to Australia’s rigorous environmental standards.
The GeoIonic formula is unsurpassed in its ability to bind soil particles, making the soil very dense and resistant to water penetration.
It has amazing dust suppression properties and under a slightly different application process, can be used as a very effective dust suppression treatment, making a perfect secondary use in the mining industry.
GeoIonic’s water resistant properties make it outstanding for use on plantation roads in high rainfall areas.
Application of the GeoIonic product is very simple and does not require any specialised expensive equipment. All that is required for the compounds application is a road grader, water tanker and a vibrating compactor.
Many Australian regional government bodies (Councils), are using GeoIonic, therefore the product is required to meet the worlds highest standards, as demanded by the Australian government.
The savings enjoyed by these regional and rural councils on their road maintenance programs has been calculated in millions of dollars.
Additionally, GeoIonic’s reputation has been enhanced courtesy of its selection by the United Nations to be used for stabilisation projects in several African countries.
GeoIonic is shipped in 1000 litre IBC containers. Pricing is ex factory in Sydney. Shipping can be organised by NMT Global Logistics or the customer directly.
GeoIonic is incredibly easy to apply, however if the client requires training AustralAsean can organise to train the road workers on site.
GeoIonic is a unique, it is a super easy to apply, road stabilisation and dust suppression product with current ISO 9001-2015 certification.
Post application the treated area cures like concrete, has unrivalled dust suppression properties, and can be driven on within minutes.
GeoIonic works with nearly all materials including materials considered substandard. It does not require importation of expensive, meaning huge savings.
GeoIonic is proven, and has been widely used on non sealed roads in Australia, where it meets the Australia’s tough environmental standards.
It Is agriculturally friendly and approved for use by the united nations. to be used for stabilisation projects in several African countries.
For these reasons GeoIonic is the worlds most effective road stabilisation solution. Saving millions of dollars in construction and maintenance costs.
