Soilworks products are the industry’s top standard due to our insistence on creating high performance soil stabilization and dust control products that stand up to rigorous testing – both in the lab and in the field. Our commitment to quality and performance has led to our involvement and testing in hundreds of real-world situations. The following library of reports, presentations, specifications, approvals and other similar documents provide you, our customer, the transparency and dependable assurance that is expected from Soilworks.
Demonstrating rapid deployment techniques for constructing stabilized airfields under demanding military conditions, this field study at Ft. Bragg evaluates polymer-based emulsions, fiber-reinforced admixtures, and hybrid cement/polymer systems for high-load stabilization and dust control. Key strategies included the application of liquid polymer emulsions and synthetic oil-based dust suppressants to create durable, weatherproof soil surfaces capable of withstanding up to 750 C-130 aircraft passes. These techniques notably increased California Bearing Ratios (CBR) from baseline levels of 10–15 to well over 80, improving operational load capacity and mitigating foreign object debris (FOD) risks.
For airfield and mission-critical military infrastructure, Soiltac is a proven solution for forming resilient, water-resistant soil matrices that minimize erosion and withstand vehicle loads. When non-water-dependent dust control is required—especially in dry, freeze-prone, or high-traffic environments—Durasoil offers long-term suppression with no curing time or need for reapplication. For large-scale or budget-sensitive projects, Gorilla-Snot provides a biodegradable alternative for surface sealing and stabilization. Contact Soilworks for customized recommendations, logistics planning, and field application support tailored to rapid deployment and defense-sector needs.
