Soil solidification with GeoCrete(®
© KABA Infratech Pvt. Ltd.
What is GeoCrete®?
Stabilization of existing or natural soils with cement is a problem because of the humus
acids (especially fulvic and carbon acids) that are in organic matter. These acids block the
hydration of cement almost completely. Applying GeoCrete® as an additive to cement
neutralizes the humus acids in such a way that the hydration of cement in the stabilization
(or immobilization) is not blocked.
GeoCrete® is an additive to cement and can be mixed together with cement and soils. It
has an off – white to grayish colour(powder form) which exists of alkaline – and alkaline
earth elements. GeoCrete® and cement together allow an environmental friendly transition
of the existing soil into a newly build concrete like structure.
Unlike concrete, in which short crystalline structures are build (that’s why such a
construction will crack easily and large surfaces need to be reinforced or the cracking
controlled), GeoCrete® allows long crystalline structures to be build which gives the
construction high bearing capacities, elastic modules, the tensile strength. The construction
also becomes water impermeable which enhances the frost resistance.

Operating Principle of GeoCrete®
Distribution of the GeoCrete®
The water is sprinkled earlier which act as a means of transport for the GeoCrete® and
cement mixture to seep into the soil.

Operating Principle of GeoCrete®
Through homogeneously blending the GeoCrete® and
cement settles around and between the earth grains.

Operating Principle of GeoCrete®
The molecules of the GeoCrete® ,cement and soil are
pressed to each other through the compression procedure

Procedure steps: Banished roads
Milling of the old asphalt
- Milling of the old asphalt layers
- Up to 10 cm of the old asphalt material
can be mixed together with the cement-
GeoCrete® -mixture
Special Grubber in action
- Cracking of the old layer material
- Big stones were brought to the surface
Stone crusher in
action
- Milling of the mixed
layer material with the
stone crusher to a
grain size < 50 mm

Procedure steps: From the scratch
Surface preparation Spreading procedure
Preparation of surfaces
- Secure trafficability for construction equipment
- Reduce water content of soil, if required
- Exchange soil, if required.

Procedure steps:
Mixing procedure Irrigation
Mixing of cement and GeoCrete® mixture with
soil
- Mixing of cement/additive mixture in required

- In the case of milling depths required > 50 cm,
the soil is dug away, stored intermediary, mixed
with cement and reused.
Watering the surface

friction surfaces
Cannot be tailored blended for soil
types
Expensive repeated
maintenance required
Environmentally unfriendly
With proper blending, stabilized

due to freeze/thaw issues
Can be tailored to specific soil types
Will significantly reduce
maintenance costs

High load capacity
The stabilized layer has a
very high load bearing
capacity due to the long
needle like crystals that
form during the hydration
process
