Summary

Local government and state government authorities are witnessing the benefi ts of using PolyCom Stabilising Aid in many area’s where sourcing road materials is becoming diffi cult and costly.

PolyCom enables the use of existing in situ materials in most cases without the need to import new materials, thus saving on transport cost’s and damage from heavy trucks delivering new materials.

The ability of PolyCom to work well in clayey materials and sub standard soils makes it an ideal choice for stabilising all manner of problems from roads to hardstands and anything in between.
