Good Roads Start with Firm Foundations
Environmentally safe, cost-effective clay soil stabilization for roads, runways, and infrastructure
ROAD INFRASTRUCTURE
DEVELOPMENT
ClayLOK® provides a cost-effective product for developing road infrastructure at a fraction of the cost of conventional methods. It is a chemical soil stabilizer used in all forms of clay soil stabilization, from road bases to surface treatments, grain storage floors and runways. Currently, clay is stabilized using lime or cement, but this process is expensive, and the material preparation and application is difficult and results in a product that is not very environmentally friendly. ClayLOK® is a certified zero harm product, posing no threat to construction personnel or to the surrounding environment. It works in projects where there is clay content in the building materials.
Applications
Roads
ClayLOK® can be used in gravel road construction, rehabilitation, or maintenance and is a one-time application. In the future, if you need to add drainage or additional work, rip the road and bring it back up to the Optimum Moisture Content, OMC, then roll and shape it as desired – the results will be the same strength and durability as the initial application without any additional ClayLOK® .
Roadworks constructed using clay gravel stabilized with ClayLOK® have noticeably improved in the following 10 key areas:
- Increased road density
- Increased load bearing capacity
- Reduced water permeability
- Reduced dust
- Reduced wash boarding
- Reduced frost boils
- Reduced potholes
- Lower costs for maintenance cycles
- Lower gravel costs
- Lower impact to local communities as construction is quick and the road can be driven on immediately.
Applications
Roads
ClayLOK® can be used for the construction of Haul roads on mines, farm to market roads, building foundations, pothole solutions and various other applications.

Applications
The ClayLOK® process provide improvements to treated soils
Improved soil binding qualities result in greater resistance to water damage, erosion and wash-out.
This is a complete process that addresses the troublesome issues connected with clay-based soils.
By altering the clay’s structural properties, it allows the creation of long- lasting, hard-wearing surface with considerably enhanced load-bearing characteristics
The ClayLOK® soil stabilization system developed in Canada, can provide a low cost, engineered in-place and environmentally friendly remedy.
Applications
ClayLOK® Application Process
The ClayLOK® application process is a three-stage solution that consists of:
Soil analysis, chemical science,
and a unique soil mixing methodology.
The application process requires the availability of suitable soils, a supply of clean water, and a competent contractor with suitable equipment and experienced operators.
The installation must be supervised by a qualified ClayLOK® technical advisor.

Reduced fugitive dust, in the immediate vicinity of the bearing surface, provides better health for local people, greater visibility and less complaints.
Reduced fugitive dust, in the immediate vicinity of the bearing surface, provides better health for local people, greater visibility and less complaints.
Smoother roadways and greater visibility shorten travel time and decreases accidents which leads to less traffic jams
ClayLOK® Cost Analysis
The ClayLOK® process keeps costs as low as possible by soil testing and then adding fill material, if needed to upgrade the existing in-situ material.
Upgrading the in-situ material in place, significantly reduces the amount of excavation, material handling, material transporting, and compaction required to create a proper load bearing surface.
By employing the ClayLOK® process, savings in construction costs of up to 60% of traditional construction costs can be saved.
The employment of local people is critical to us and can be achieved
as the process is very simple.
ClayLOK® Benefits:
Further Benefits
ClayLOK® Southern Africa will provide the product and consultancy.
We will appoint a local agent in each country to develop the infrastructure.
The Local agent will contract with the government and will appoint local construction companies to do the work, creating local employment.
We can assist in sourcing of the correct equipment and assist in training etc.
90% of the costs of the build stay in country and thus help the local economy
ClayLOK® carries environmental and health approvals
from the Government of Canada Health Department.
