Abstract

Abstract A machine for the injection of liquid into the surface of soil comprises a sledge having a surface compacting base bounded by two runners, the lower surface of each runner being below the level of the compacting base. The base has a transverse slot dimensioned to receive a hollow pressurizable injection bar which has a lower face equipped with injection orifices, the lower face being flush with the compacting surface of the compacting base when the bar is in position. The machine is particularly useful for the injection of a soil stabilizing medium into soil while the soil is compacted. By this means it is possible to produce a compacted raised strip of soil which is smooth and stable and which in desert conditions prevents a build up of sand on roads. The invention includes a method for stabilizing soil by forming a compacted raised strip of soil and injecting a soil stabilizing medium into said strip to bond the compacted soil.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim 90 words
A machine for the injection of a stabilizing liquid into the surface of soil comprising a sledge having a surface compacting base, the base having a forward end and a rear end, a transverse slot located adjacent said rear end, a hollow pessurizable injection bar disposed in said slot, said bar having a lower face equipped with injection orifices, said lower face of said bar being flush with said compacting surface of said base so that, in use, a strip of compacted soil bonded with the stabilizing liquid is produced.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 90 words
A machine for the injection of a stabilizing liquid into the surface of soil comprising a sledge having a surface compacting base, the base having a forward end and a rear end, a transverse slot located adjacent said rear end, a hollow pessurizable injection bar disposed in said slot, said bar having a lower face equipped with injection orifices, said lower face of said bar being flush with said compacting surface of said base so that, in use, a strip of compacted soil bonded with the stabilizing liquid is produced.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 21 words
The machine as claimed in claim 1 wherein said pressurizable injection bar is provided with means for unblocking said injection orifices.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 23 words
A machine according to claim 1 having two runners, the lower surface of each runner being below the level of the compacting base.
Claim 5
Independent Claim 28 words
A method for stabilizing soil comprising forming a compacted raised strip of soil and injecting a soil stabilising medium into said strip wereby to bond the compacted soil.
Claim 6
Independent Claim 28 words
A method for stabilizing soil comprising forming a compacted raised strip of soil and injecting a soil stabilising medium into said strip wereby to bond the compacted soil.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 42 words
A method according to claim 3 wherein the soil stabilising medium is selected from an oil extended rubber latex, an oil emulsion, a bitumen emulsion, a bitumen-oil emulsion or a mixture of one or more of such emulsions with a rubber latex.
