BOMAG showcases live soil stabilisation with Claycrete additive technology

At BOMAG’s Boppard headquarters, 40 European guests witnessed RS 460 and rollers demonstrate precise soil stabilisation using Claycrete II.  www.bomag.com Around 40 customers and dealers from across Europe attended the joint event on ‘soil stabilisation with liquid additives’ hosted by BOMAG and Claycrete Global at BOMAG’s headquarters in Boppard on 10 July 2025. The event centred on innovative approaches to soil improvement, highlighting the performance of BOMAG machines in conjunction with the liquid additive Claycrete II. Experiencing technology—understanding innovation. After a welcome by Philipp Röhrle (Head of the Milling and Recycling Business Unit at BOMAG), Lutz Stallgies (Business Development Manager for Recycling at BOMAG) presented fascinating facts about the company’s product range and application technology. Subsequently, Brian Jackman, owner of Claycrete, presented his company’s additive technology. The use of liquid additives for soil stabilisation is becoming increasingly important, especially in areas with challenging soil conditions. Key to a high-quality result are machines that can precisely mix liquids—water with the dissolved additive—into the soil. During the event, BOMAG gave a live demonstration of the process on a specially prepared test area. Live demo: BOMAG machines in action with additives. During the live demonstration, the BOMAG RS 460 impressively illustrated how additives and water are precisely metered and evenly mixed into the soil. But the RS 460 was not the only machine in action: to demonstrate the full process—mixing in the binder and then compacting—the RS 460 was followed by a single drum roller with padfoot drum (BW 211 DH-5), a single drum roller with smooth drum (BW 219 BVC-5) and a pneumatic-tyred roller (BW 28 RH). The result was a consistent soil structure with high load-bearing capacity—achieved sustainably. Guests were thus able to see for themselves just how efficient, effective and sustainable this application solution is. “We support our customers in integrating both proven and new methods safely and effectively into their projects,” explains Lutz Stallgies. “BOMAG’s solutions show that soil recycling is both cost-effective and environmentally sound. Our machines are engineered to meter process water and liquid additives precisely into the mixing chamber.” Openness to different methods—with quality taking priority./h3> “We see ourselves as a partner to the construction industry—and our technology is deliberately open to a variety of methods,” says Philipp Röhrle. “Whether using lime, cement or solutions such as liquid additives, what matters most is that our customers achieve the best mixing and final results with BOMAG machines.” Factory tour rounds off the event. The event was rounded off with a tour of the BOMAG plant and a visit to the training centre, where customers could experience the high degree of vertical integration and ‘Made in Germany’ quality for themselves. www.bomag.com Powered by Induportals Media Publishing
