AggreBind Project Analysis: For most of the below listed installations contact details are not supplied. There are confidentiality agreements in place with distributors and mandates of privacy with end-users, some being elected high officials and members of royalty. Further, for the projects and installations in Africa, regimes, tribal leaders, mayors, names of municipalities, etc., have changed numerous times over the past 2 decades. AggreBind is/was mainly sold through distributors, hence we do not know the end-users details. AggreBind Project Analysis |

Country | Location | Year | Project | AGB Ltrs | AGB Ltrs | Comments |
Stabilizing | Topseal | Note that the normal range is 3 – 4 ltrs per cub mtr | ||||
per cub mtr | per sq mtr | 5 ltrs per cub mtr is because of extreme weights to 100+ tonne | ||||
South Africa | Rustenberg | 1996 | Road | 5 | 0.3 | 2 km X 7 mtr wide X 150mm deep main road to a coal fired power |
station serviced by 100+ heavy trucks running non-stop every day. | ||||||
On site material was non-cohesive sand based with some angular stone. | ||||||
After final compaction a bitumen/Aggregate wearing surface was | ||||||
applied. This was then sealed with black AGB and the spraying was | ||||||
extended onto the shoulders of the road to deflect surface water away | ||||||
from the vulnerable edge of the road. | ||||||
A cost analysis revealed a saving of 45% over traditional road building | ||||||
costs. | ||||||
Hazyview | 1996 | Road | 4 | 0.25 | 4klm X 5 mtr main access road to a hotel and game reserve. | |
Client requested a durable road that would be suitable for 4X4 vehicles | ||||||
that was natural in appearance and environmentally friendly. | ||||||
The site involved some steep inclines that were subjected to serious | ||||||
erosion during the summer rainstorms. | ||||||
A soil/sand 150mm deep layer was stabilised and the surface was | ||||||
sealed with clear AGB to retain the soils natural color. | ||||||
Johannesburg | 1996 | Mine Dumps | 0.20 | Surface spraying of Gold waste mine dumps to prevent the dust becoming | ||
airborne and also to prevent it from leaching into ground water. | ||||||
Durban | 1996 | Car Parks | 4 | 0.25 | Stabilizing and surface sealing Berea Red fine soil. | |

Stabilizing | Topseal | Dosage rates need to be assessed on many factors; | ||||
per cub mtr | per sq mtr | the two most critical are fines content and weight of vehicles | ||||
Durban | 1996 | Road | 3 | 0.25 | Stabilizing and surface sealing steep township roads in Nshongweni | |
township. 3klm X 5 mtrs X 150mm deep. | ||||||
Ivory Coast | 2006 | Roads | 4 | 0.25 | 4klm X 4 mtrs private plantation road used for access and harvesting of | |
crops by 20 ton vehicles. Crushed nutshells were used as aggregate as no | ||||||
stone was available at the site. | ||||||
Botswana | Orapa | 1995 | Roads | 5 | 0.20 | Soil Stabilizing and surface sealing roads, ramps and parking areas used by |
fully loaded 80+ tonne dump trucks. | ||||||
Loading ramp | 6 | 0.20 | The ramp was 30 degrees and the dump trucks went up the ramp, turned | |||
around to deposit their load into the crushing machine, and then came down | ||||||
the ramp to go and collect another load. This was a 24/7 operation. | ||||||
No maintenance was required during the first 4 years despite the fact | ||||||
that no wearing surface was installed. They had previously used concrete | ||||||
that had failed within 2 years. | ||||||
The reason for using a higher dosage rate, ON THE RAMP ONLY, was because of | ||||||
incline and the continuous use by 80 tonne dump trucks. The mine runs | ||||||
continually and the wanted to reduce road maintenance to a minimum. | ||||||
The additional dosage added 150mm of AggreBind per sq mtr x 150mm deep. | ||||||
2011 | Pending | Access road and development within game reserve. | ||||
Lobatse | 1995 | Roads | 4 | 0.20 | Main access road to a busy township with no wearing surface. | |
The 2 km x 7 mtr wide road was inspected in 2007 and was still in good | ||||||
condition. | ||||||
Maldives | 2007 | Trial | 3 | 0.20 | Laboratory trials with AGB/ sea sand/dead sea coral were carried out to | |
establish if a structural brick could be formed using locally available | ||||||
materials. The results were excellent. | ||||||

United Kingdom | 2008/10 | Various | 3 | 0.20 | A number of private roads, horse walking trails, pathways, dust control, | |
decorative surface treatments and lay-buys have been installed. | ||||||
England is vigorously controlled by the cement and bitumen industries | ||||||
and the regulated specifications for all major road works is specifically | ||||||
designed around granular (non-stabilized) base layers. | ||||||
We are slowly making progress based on the significant cost savings, | ||||||
and the re-use of waste materials, that are available by using AggreBind. | ||||||
Ukraine | Odessa | 2009 | Roads | 4 | 0.20 | A trial road was installed in an area that is subjected to flooding. It |
passed all the strength requirements for inclusion in the list of | ||||||
products that can tender for major road contracts. Major order is pending. | ||||||
Romania | 2007 | Roads | 3 | 0.20 | A 500 sq mtr trial road passed all regulatory requirements but there is | |
currently a shortage of available funds. | ||||||
Spain | Private Estate | 2007/8 | Roads | 3 | 0.20 | 5klm X 5mtr Country estate roads that were prepared specifically for a visit by |
the Spanish Royal Family. Great care was taken to ensure that the road color | ||||||
was consistent and that the unsurfaced road was suitable for horse drawn | ||||||
carriages. | ||||||
Farmers | ||||||
Co-operative | 2004 | Roads | 2.5 | 0.20 | 1000mtrs X 3.5 mtrs X 150mm deep farm roads used by all farm equipment and | |
10 tonne trucks. This road is recessed and becomes a river during the rainy | ||||||
season. After 3 years, with no maintenance, the site was inspected and was in | ||||||
excellent condition. | ||||||
Iran | Tehran | 2008 | Presentation | A trial area was installed for evaluation and testing. | ||
