Jindal Global Road Stabilizer

(JGRS)
HIGHWAY TO THE FUTURE

About JGRS
JGRS is developed using cutting edge
technology by JSPL and Global Civil Solutions,
South Africa to produce a highly effective soil
stabiliser.
Is a unique hydration activated soil stabiliser which
re-engineers a wide range of soils from clay, silt to
gravely soils that makes it suitable for construction of
the embankments & pavements.
It is available in powder form.
JGRS presently manufactured at Raigarh

Increase in bearing capacity (CBR & UCS) of soil

Reduction in Plasticity Index
Increase compaction ability of clay soils by making
the material more friable and workable
Makes the stabilized layer less susceptible to
moisture ingress, rendering the layer water-resistant
Introduces cohesion, thus creates a tensile
strength, especially in the later stages of development
Reduces swell potential of expanding soils

WHY STABILISE WITH JGRS?

JGRS allows the use of locally available or in- situ sub-standard
materials. Through stabilization of these materials they can be used
within road and pavement construction.
Incorporation of an JGRS stabilized layer into the road and
pavement construction will negate the need to import good quality,
expensive aggregate or fill material.
Reduces the dependency on query material and their
transportation
Using JGRS to stabilize sub-standard material saves time in the
construction process. Time is money! The ability to use locally
available material in the road and pavement design permits faster
construction times, without jeopardizing the quality of the end
product.

Construction procedure
Laboratory testing
Tests will be conducted on soil as required for
construction of embankment.
CBR is determined with different dosage
percentage of JGRS at OMC & MDD.
Dosage of JGRS is finalized based on CBR, UCS
etc and durability criterion

Field Construction
CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENTS- Motor grader, roller,
Back hoe loader/JCB, dumpers, water tanker, recycler etc
Proper marking is done for the area to be stabilized

The soil is spread over the embankment bed with

allowances for the compaction
Roll the bed with 1-2 passes of roller, to make the surface
even without hollows
JGRS bags are placed at calculated spacing
The JGRS is uniformly spread over the bed with the help of
motor grader or manually
Mixing of JGRS is done with the help of recycler having
provision of adding controlled water to maintain the OMC
10

Field Construction- Cont..

The JGRS mixed soil is compacted to the

required degree of compaction.
Final shaping- final grading shall be done to
maintain the level & profile
Final cutting should be done within 3 hrs. of the
compaction
The compacted bed should be lightly watered
2-3 times a day for at least 7days

Benefits of JGRS Stabilizations

Increase in the bearing capacity of stabilized soils (CBR
and UCS)
Introduces cohesion, especially in the later stages of
development.
Reduction in Plasticity Index and swell potential of
expanding soils.

Stabilized layer is less susceptible to moisture ingress,

hence water-resistant and impermeable.

Lesser erosion of surface and hence more durability.

Lesser requirements of construction equipments

12

Benefits

Cont..

Increased productivity of the construction site allowing

projects to be completed faster hence reduced project cost.
Reduction in the import of expensive construction materials.
Hence savings in cost and transportation of material.
Use of locally available material reduces the need to quarry
material, hence saving in non- renewable sources
Non-toxic and safe - both to the environment as well as to the
individuals applying it.
Stabilizing in-situ soils with the JGRS eliminates the need to
destroy other lands and excavate material in open pits for road
construction and dumping ground of unsuitable material.
Reduces haulage of spoil and import material thereby
13
reducing toxic emissions.
