Stabilized earth, the new frontier of permeable paving
La stabilized land is a modern and eco-sustainable solution for the creation of driveway and walkable floors harmonious with the surrounding environment.
But what what exactly is stabilized earth?
The stabilized earth road is characterized by its continuous surface, free from spontaneous vegetation, highly draining and of good appearance from an aesthetic point of view.
It is a solution based on eco-friendly technology that allows the terrain of an area to be transformed quickly to obtain solid and functional roads.
This is possible thanks to the use of materials and binders that are mixed with the soil in situ, making the intervention ameliorative and non-invasive, respecting the environment.
As regards price and cost of stabilized land, we can say that we are faced with a purchase that is as functional as it is economical.
To create a natural flooring in stabilized land Therefore, large investments are not needed. The plus of the low cost, linked to the eco-sustainability of this type of solution, makes us think that stabilized earth roads (both public and private) represent the future of road paving in natural environments and beyond.
Stabilized earth, what is it for?
La stabilized land was created to obtain flooring characterized by high mechanical resistance. The dirt road is also stabilized draining, recyclable and very compact. Precisely for this reason it is particularly suitable for environments where it is necessary to obtain the benefits given by the practicability of a solid road, combined with respect for the surrounding environment. In any case, the fields of use are very vast, as we will see later, precisely due to the robustness characteristics obtained post-laying. The mixture with the initial soil is in fact a definitive operation, because it is not necessary to periodically import material to reinforce the road.
The stabilized earth road has no potholes and is immune to events such as the creation of dust and mud, even following atmospheric events.
The type of material used, created specifically for outdoor flooring, is particularly resistant and pleasant to look at. The colors of an ecological stabilized earth flooring are natural and harmonious with the surrounding environment. The correct use of stabilized land ensures constant flatness and drainage thus avoiding all the main causes of surface disconnection such as puddles and runoff.
Stabilized earth, pros and cons
Products for the creation of roads in stabilized earth, such as those of Terra Solida® Italy, are suitable for various types of interventions and their use brings great advantages.
They are products designed for building permeable stabilized earth paving that harmonize with the natural environment, they are eco-friendly and 100% recyclable.
Which means that stabilized land is ecological?
It means that thanks to the recyclability characteristics and the use of eco-friendly materials the composition of the soil and the underlying aquifer is not altered, avoiding the dramatic impact of a standard concrete or asphalt pavement. All without sacrificing the stability and solidity of the track, which are even superior to old-fashioned paving technologies. This is why it is difficult to talk about pros and cons, since the balance definitely tips towards the advantages. Basically, the only recommendation is to pay particular attention to the drafting phase, creating the work in an optimal way, in total harmony with the manufacturer's instructions.
What are the ideal environments for the use of stabilized earth?
As imaginable, a stabilized earth road offers the dream solution for everyone those areas in need a reinforcement and improvement of the flooring without impacting the environment. The dirt country roads, the uncomfortable and sometimes dangerous gravel parking lots of farmhouses, the pedestrian paths within archaeological sites or protected areas are all ideal habitats for this type of intervention.
This only takes away the ductility and dynamism of stabilized land and its robust texture, make this solution also suitable for schools, universities, motorway rest areas and for all environmental and urban compensation or regeneration interventions.
The Nature Stabil Road line by Terra Solida®
Our products Nature Stabil Road they allow the creation of permeable paving with limited thickness. There stabilized land that is created is immediately practicable and highly resistant to wear.
The road or pavement does not require periodic refilling of material, does not generate dust or mud and is safe as the material prevents the formation of potholes and ruts typical of natural roads.
In terms of use and installation, the stabilized earth created with Nature Stabil Road products it is composed of a mixture with soil present in situ (or aggregates from quarries or recycled aggregates deriving from demolitions).
The flooring made with the products Nature Stabil Road è 100% recyclable, is not classified as special waste e does not release pollutants throughout its entire use cycle. Furthermore, the combined use with local aggregates allows the natural color of the surrounding earth to be maintained, reducing transport costs and the release of emissions harmful to the environment.
