3. Description of NanoSoil
NanoSoil is an environmentally friendly product ideal for road construction.
NanoSoil is a product that is used to bond soil, sand, clay and other naturally occurring aggregates together to form a solid hydrophobic concrete-like finish
NanoSoil will improve the overall quality of the finished road as well as greatly reduce the time needed to construct a kilometer
NanoSoil prevents water from getting into the road base forming large cracks and potholes

4. Why NanoSoil? NanoSoil is organic and environmentally friendly
Through the use of NanoSoil and the necessary equipment (Sxe-8 Road Reclaimer) for road construction we are able to produce up to 5 KM every day.
With NanoSoil the need to bring in large amounts of aggregates is unneeded. The NanoSoil mixes in with the naturally occurring aggregates and bonds them into a concrete.
As more traffic drives upon the road the CBR only gets better since the ions are constantly trying to pull themselves closer together.
The time and cost savings through NanoSoil allows for contractors to build more roads of a higher quality, faster than with any conventional method.

5. Why NanoSoil?
This is a major time for environmental awareness and the responsibility we have to stop using harmful products to our surrounding environment. NanoSoil is organic and environmentally friendly and the construction process is much less disruptive to the environment.
Overall reduction of carbon footprint through eliminating majority of:
Aggregate Truck Emissions
Mining of Aggregates
Polymers or Sulphur by-products seen in many other “soil stabilizers”
Disturbance to area surrounding construction site (dust pollution, habitat destruction, etc)

6. Why NanoSoil?
Through using Nanotech Construction Products LTD’s methodology for road construction with NanoSoil, construction time is greatly reduced
Labour required: 1 operating pulverizer, 3 operating rollers, 1 safety, 1 for flagging. This construction team can produce: KM LONG x 3 M WIDE x 30 CM DEEP per DAY!
The ability to have a much more productive construction team means the project is able to be finished much earlier than the established deadline using a conventional road building method

7. Why NanoSoil?
Using NanoSoil you will no longer excavate the existing aggregates, remove them from site, and transport new aggregates in
NanoSoil uses a natural ion exchange process on a nano scale to change the composition of the existing aggregates. This pulls the molecules tightly together which:
After optimally compacted, this new soil forms into a hard slab much like a concrete layer between the ground below and above
Once compacted the concrete layer is also hydrophobic so water can not penetrate into the road base saving the need for constant maintenance.

8. Why NanoSoil?
After the optimal compaction of 80 CBR has been achieved, the process of compaction is no longer required
How the nanotechnology ion exchange becomes so beneficial is that these molecules are constantly trying to get closer together so as traffic drives upon it, the compaction only gets better and the product itself becomes harder
With adjustments to the depth of the base layer this product becomes applicable to mine roads, construction service roads, airport runways/helipads and many other possibilities

9. Why NanoSoil?
A road using NanoSoil was constructed in the eastern townships of Quebec. After 4 harsh winter seasons and freeze-thaw conditions, the road remains maintenance free with no potholes or cracks

11. Why NanoSoil? Which soils are suitable for treatment with NanoSoil
Almost all soils are suitable. Exceptions include pure sand soils with less than 15% fine particle content of <0.002mm (i.e. clay) or pure marshy ground that only contains humus
Why are soils limited to a fine particle composition content of 15%?
In order for NanoSoil to perform, the soil must contain natural binders (i.e. clay) to both bind to the NanoSoil as it is added as well as to improve the overall strength of the soil.
How many years can a NanoSoil road last?
Since water does not get into the road, the road can last over 25 years without much maintenance.
What happens to surfaces treated with NanoSoil during strong and heavy rainfall?
If NanoSoil has been applied to the soil as instructed and optimally compacted, rainwater or capillary water will not penetrate from above or below
What effect will temperature have on surfaces treated with NanoSoil?
Temperature, whether rising or falling, has absolutely no effect on the applications of NanoSoil

12. Applications
Our NanoSoil is designed for the base layer of a road system
Haul Roads for Mining and Heavy equipment
Runways
Secondary Roads (County Roads, Township Lines etc.)
Roads built in Quebec and Russia have been almost 100% maintenance free while combating extreme freeze-thaw conditions
Our Road Systems have been used in multiple locations globally from Peru, Romania, Turkey, Austria, Canada, and Russia

13. Applications
Service roads that are to be removed after the project is complete benefit greatly from using NanoSoil
We provide a quick method of building these roads (5KM /Day)
After construction is complete, a pulverizer is able to come break up the road and since our product is environmentally safe and friendly, the broken up soil is still able to be left on site, re-covered, and able to be planted on
The need to dig out aggregates, get new aggregates to fill, and then repeat the process after the project is complete becomes redundant and expensive. NanoSoil eliminates this

14. Conclusion
NanoSoil will provide huge cost-savings through aggregates and construction time
Excellent for Haul Roads and Secondary Roads
Environmentally friendly: Organic Product, Dust pollution reduced, carbon emissions reduced, No mining of Natural Resources (Sand, Clay, Gravel)
