Key Features
- Little or no micro cracking of the ground outside the excavation line. (Cracking from hammers has been shown to reach up to 2m, depending on rock type). This can cause issues with existing infrastructure.
- Minimised overbreak of trench line.
- Minimal disturbance of trench face making for a safer more intact trench.
- Lower noise impact than other methods.
- Lower vibration impact.
- Ability to reuse the material onsite as hardfill, thus reducing waste and increasing site efficiency.
- Extremely reliable tools and Antraquip also have a range of Soft Soil mixing attachments which have used in NZ for Mud-Crete.
