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.
This presentation, delivered in partnership with the Alaska Department of Transportation and the University of Alaska Fairbanks, documents the successful application of Soilworks products—specifically Soiltac and Durasoil—on airstrips and unpaved roads across remote Alaskan communities. Field tests at locations such as Chicken, Lake Minchumina, and Nunam Iqua Airports showed significant reductions in dust emissions and improved surface durability following the use of Soilworks’ dust palliatives. Quantitative data indicated an average dust reduction of up to 97% and major improvements in surface strength under repeated aircraft and vehicle loading. Durasoil was highlighted for its performance on unpaved runways, offering clean, waterless suppression in extreme environments where traditional watering methods are unviable.
For aviation maintenance planners, DOT officials, and rural infrastructure managers, Soilworks provides field-tested, non-toxic, and cold-climate-compatible solutions to combat runway surface degradation, visibility issues, and airborne particulate matter. Durasoil delivers long-lasting dust control on runways and access roads, while Soiltac enhances surface stabilization for safety-critical infrastructure. Contact Soilworks for support integrating these solutions into rural airport maintenance programs and low-traffic transportation corridors in Arctic and sub-Arctic regions.
