Innovation

The key to the successful deployment of this technology is the careful choice of the binder materials. Sirius has a wide experience in the selection of these and has developed testing regimes that can be used to verify and validate their efficacy prior to use on site. This is of course particularly important when seeking regulatory approval for using such a technique for chemical contaminant stabilisation. Sirius has successfully treated over 30,000m3 of soils contaminated with organic tars and a wide range of inorganic chemicals to the full satisfaction of the Environment agency and Local Authorities.

Geotechnical stabilisation is normally achieved using cements or lime. The compact nature of the Star machine combined with its mixing technology and high throughput enables it to process large quantities of material without affecting other site operations. It is also able to operate in weather conditions which would render traditional techniques impossible.
