Why Add Water When It Isn’t Necessary? A Practical Solution for Soil Stabilization in Nordic Roadworks

In the realm of construction, challenges posed by soft or unstable soils can be daunting. However, innovative techniques such as Nordic Dry Deep Soil Mixing (NDDM) offer reliable solutions without unnecessary complexity. This method demonstrates its value by improving soil stability and strength without the excessive use of water—an approach both efficient and environmentally considerate.

Project Overview: Foundation Preparation with Precision

A recent roadworks foundation project in the Nordic region highlighted the practical application of NDDM. The project scope included the construction of 12,000 soil-stabilizing columns, each reaching a depth of 10 meters (32 feet) with a diameter of 600 mm, collectively spanning an impressive total length of approximately 120 kilometers (74 miles).

Using a lime-cement mix as the binder, 40 kilograms (88 pounds) were applied per meter of each column. The outcome was a durable foundation capable of withstanding demanding load-bearing conditions.

Equipment in Action: Reliable Tools for Reliable Results

The success of the project hinged on the integration of robust equipment:

  • ALLU PF 7+7 NextGen 10 Bar Pressure Feeder: Ensuring consistent and precise delivery of dry binders deep into the ground.
  • MOVAX MSL-300 Column Stabilisation Leader: An excavator-mounted tool designed for the efficient creation of stabilization columns.

This combination provided seamless operation, even in the most demanding soil conditions, ensuring the job was completed with precision and reliability.

Explore how the Nordic Dry Deep Mixing method enhances soil stability without water, featuring ALLU's PF 7+7 NextGen feeder for precise and efficient foundation construction.

Why Choose Dry Over Wet Stabilization?

Nordic Dry Deep Mixing sets itself apart from traditional methods by omitting the need for added water, a factor that significantly simplifies the process. Some notable advantages include:

  1. Environmental Considerations
    By reducing water usage, NDDM minimizes the risk of runoff and contamination, particularly in regions with high groundwater levels. This makes it a preferred choice for environmentally sensitive areas.
  2. Enhanced Precision
    Dry binders allow for controlled application, ensuring uniform strength and stability, even in soils with varying properties like clay or peat.
  3. Faster Results
    Dry binders typically achieve the desired strength more quickly than their wet counterparts, shortening project timelines and reducing waiting periods for curing.
  4. Suitability for Difficult Conditions
    In saturated or clay-rich soils, where water-based methods may fail due to dilution, NDDM excels by providing consistent results.
  5. Reduced Complexity
    With no added water, there’s no need for managing slurry or dealing with excess waste, streamlining logistics and cutting down on ancillary costs.

A Method Rooted in Practicality

The Nordic Dry Deep Mixing method isn’t just about achieving technical excellence; it’s about approaching projects with care and foresight. By avoiding the unnecessary addition of water, this method prioritizes efficiency and environmental responsibility.

For the foundation project in question, the combination of NDDM and ALLU’s PF 7+7 NextGen feeder exemplified how precision equipment and proven methods can align to create lasting infrastructure. The resulting columns are a testament to how carefully planned construction can address even the most challenging soil conditions.

Model DN 3-12 TS 25/50 Axe Variable Drum

Soil Recycling Co. is at the forefront of soil screening in Australia, dedicated to promoting the reuse of soil as a valuable resource rather than disposing of it in landfills. This innovative company specializes in soil handling and recycling, collaborating with major waste management firms like ResourceCo to transform organic waste into usable products such as soil mixes for gardening and landscaping. Currently, Soil Recycling Co. is working at the South Gippsland Highway, Hampton Park in Victoria.

Founded in 2012, Soil Recycling Co. emerged from a passion for soil and organics, recognizing the inefficiencies in how materials were handled. The company saw countless trucks transporting soil and organic materials, only for them to return to the site soon after. This inefficiency sparked the mission to make onsite resources usable, eliminating unnecessary transport and fostering sustainable practices in the industry.

Chris Keay, the Director of Soil Recycling Co.

When Chris Keay, the Director of Soil Recycling Co., faced the challenge of processing wet, clumped soil that affected the performance of the Terex Ecotec Trommel, he recognized the necessity for a more effective solution. Two main issues arose due to the damp and wet soil:

  • Less aerated soil resulted in clumps clogging the hopper and Trommel.
  • The operator, Craig Jameson, had to clean the trommel multiple times a day, leading to significant downtime and fatigue, thus affecting productivity.

Initial attempts with another type of screening bucket featuring outdated drum technology failed to break down the lumps and dense soil, resulting in clogging and drastically reduced production. In search of a more reliable option, Chris Keay reached out to Walkers Hammers on September 16th, 2024, and discovered the innovative screening solutions from ALLU.

After reaching out to Walkers Hammers, Chris was introduced to Sami Rahman, the ALLU area sales manager based in Melbourne, Victoria. Together, they identified the ALLU DN 2-12 with TS 25 Axe as the optimal bucket for the demo. Sami, along with Carlo Costanzo from Walkers Hammers, prepared the rental bucket for a demonstration scheduled for September 17th. Upon arriving at the site, it became clear why the Trommel Screener had been struggling; persistent rain had saturated the soil, complicating the processing.

Once installed on the Hidromek excavator, the ALLU bucket quickly demonstrated its capabilities. The unique TS drum setup, designed for anti-clogging, optimal flow and self-cleaning, allowed for effective processing, leading to significant improvements in output. Impressed by its performance, Chris decided to keep the rental bucket for ongoing use, ensuring he had the right equipment to tackle his challenges effectively.

To further enhance productivity, the decision was made to switch from TS 25 to TS 50 blades, allowing for better fragmentation of larger soil lumps. Carlo from Walkers Hammers took the bucket back for the blade change, although it could have been done onsite. The bucket was delivered the next day with the blades changed to TS 50, ready for action.

Operational Highlights:

September 18: ALLU bucket installed in the morning; processed 310 m³ of topsoil for the remainder of the day (measured from the monitoring system installed on the Terex Ecotec Trommel).

September 19: Next full day of operation with the ALLU bucket, processing 280 m³ of topsoil due to the poor weather with heavy rain.

September 20: To be able to compare the customer decided to use the GP bucket the full day which resulted in approximate 20% lower efficiency than the ALLU bucket, and required frequent cleaning due to clogging issues.

The following are production figures with ALLU and GP bucket after the demo/test:

In addition to enhancing productivity, the ALLU Variable Drum allows customers to bid on smaller jobs, reducing reliance on larger trommels. Immediately, the productivity of the Terex Trommel increased by 10-20% with the smaller ALLU rental bucket, and with the new purchased DN 3-12 TS VD further great efficiency is anticipated. This capability not only streamlines operations but also promises a quick return on investment, making it an attractive option for contractors looking to optimize their resources.

A Central Victorian contractor and ALLU buckets are giving nature a helping hand to create healthier soils.

To the right is a ramshackle pile of, well let’s be blunt, manure. Straight from the farm, it’s mixed with straw, dirt, and all manner of contaminants. And a little unpleasant on the nose.

Just a few meters away is a mound of compost. A dark earthy brown in color, it’s rich and moist to the touch and smells natural. It’s difficult to believe that both piles looked the same just weeks ago. Even a seasoned farmer such as Gino is impressed by the result.

“It looks a picture,” Gino says. “The quality of the product is amazing once you send it through that bucket.”

That bucket is an ALLU Transformer DN 2-12 Screening Bucket which, for the past two years, has lived up to its name and transformed Gino’s compost. Through his Natural Compost Co. in central Victoria, Gino is cultivating a move away from synthetic farming and giving nature’s processes a helping hand, working with farmers to convert manure to compost on-site.

Working on-farm means there are contaminants in the compost piles—stones, string, and steel are the usual culprits. Early attempts to run the piles through a hired trommel proved expensive and often difficult to organize.

Gino even bought a shaker bucket—“a big bucket with holes in it”—but it wasn’t up to the job. (He’s since put a metal plate in the bottom of it and is using it as a digger.)

A bit of research led him to ALLU buckets and, as the saying goes, the rest is history.

“Sami Rahman, Area Sales Manager for ALLU, called me the next day to talk about the problems I was having and what he thought could do the job,” Gino says. “He got the measurements of what machine I was using, organized a trial on-site, and soon after had two buckets on a trailer to Newbridge.”

Gino spent that afternoon “playing” with the recommended buckets. He says he was so impressed; Sami and Carlo Costanzo, a service technician with Walkers Hammers who commissioned the demonstration buckets, went home that day with just one bucket—Gino was going to rent the other.

The next day, he ordered a new bucket with TS 16 Axe blades, enabling a homogenous end product.

“The compost fell out of the bottom of the machine like rain,” Gino says. “It looks like a picture, all nicely processed and sifted. Any contamination and oversize items – we’ve got it set to 40 mm – are left sitting in the bucket.”

“It’s magnificent.”

Rows of compost on site. Customers are noticing the difference in quality since the ALLU screening bucket has been used. (Image: Natural Compost Co)

The ALLU Transformer D-Series bucket is compatible with excavators, loaders, and other earth-moving machinery. It’s designed to screen and separate various materials including soil, sand, gravel, compost, and demolition waste on-site, reducing the need for extra equipment and transport costs while minimizing environmental impact.

Carlo provided support with the installation of the new bucket and operator training, a service Walkers Hammers offers to all Victorian businesses that purchase ALLU products.

Gino uses the bucket on two excavators. To make switching the bucket between the machines easy, ALLU built a head bracket to cater for the two different pin sizes and spaces. He says it makes what is already a productive machine even more so.

Last year, Gino was contracted to process about 5,000 tonnes of compost for farmers. He’s currently working with a wastewater facility to convert sludge removed from a dam several years ago into compost that can be used on-site. He says since buying the Transformer bucket in 2021, his clients are also noticing the difference in the quality of compost produced.

He cites a local farmer who in 2022 had three rows of compost on his farm, one of which was processed through the ALLU bucket. When Gino returned recently to consolidate the rows, the farmer singled out the ALLU-processed row.

“The other two rows, they were good,” Gino says. “But that row that was sifted was like sand. From a quality perspective, running it through that bucket made a difference. Nature will get it there, but the bucket helps me get it there quicker.”

Function Break down large limestone boulders

Model M 3-25 X75

Crushing large volumes of limestone effectively calls for equipment that guarantees speed and accuracy. In the demanding environment of Oman, a customer chose the ALLU M 3-25 screening bucket, mounted on a Hitachi 90-tonne excavator, to handle limestone boulders with precision and speed. This solution not only eliminated the need for a conventional crusher but also transformed operations into a one-step process that saved time, reduced costs, and minimized environmental impact.

The Challenge: Crushing Limestone Boulders for Road Construction

The customer’s challenge was to break down large limestone boulders ranging from 0 to 300 mm into smaller, manageable pieces, specifically between 0 and 90 mm. The material needed to be prepared as sub-base for the internal road construction at the Royal Oman Police Headquarters. Conventionally, this would require multiple machines and permits to set up a traditional crusher on-site, causing additional costs and logistical complexities.

The ALLU Solution: One-Step Operation with M 3-25 Screening Bucket

Choosing the ALLU M 3-25 X75 over a traditional crusher setup, the customer valued its capacity to condense several stages of the process into one seamless operation. Mounted on a Hitachi 90-tonne excavator, the ALLU screening bucket ensured a smooth, efficient workflow throughout the operation. The excavator simply picked up the boulders, crushed them to the desired size, and loaded them directly onto trucks for transport.

This one-step operation not only saved the customer significant time and reduced the need for additional equipment but also minimized environmental impact by reducing fuel consumption and the overall number of machines on-site. The crushed material was perfectly sized for the sub-base application, helping ensure that the project was completed efficiently and on time.

Key Benefits of the ALLU Screening Bucket:

  1. Cost-Efficient Versatility: By choosing this screening bucket, the customer bypassed the permits and costs of a conventional crusher, while handling a large-scale operation with one versatile attachment.
  2. One-Step Process: The ALLU screening bucket streamlined the operation into a single process, from picking up material to crushing and loading it onto trucks.
  3. Sustainable Precision: Fewer machines on-site meant reduced emissions and fuel consumption, while the bucket’s precision ensured perfectly sized material for sub-base road construction.
