What Soil Solutions does

Soil Solutions, founded in 2004 and headquartered in West Hempstead, US, with operations hubs in South Africa (Johannesburg), Kenya (Nairobi), and the UAE (Dubai), is a private sustainable infrastructure company that develops and commercializes a proprietary nano-modified emulsion technology branded EBS (Engineered Base Stabilizer). EBS transforms in-situ soils, aggregates, and reclaimed asphalt into sealed, water-resistant, load-bearing structural layers for roads, mine haul routes, airstrips, helipads, tailings facilities, and renewable-energy sites, eliminating the need for imported aggregate, continuous grading, and water-intensive dust suppression. The company's portfolio spans EBS Surface Seal, Cold In-Place Recycling (CIR), Full Depth Reclamation (FDR), sand stabilization, and turnkey airstrip construction, with airstrips certified ICAO Annex 14 compliant by civil aviation authorities in at least 12 countries.

The company monetizes through three primary streams: (1) sale and licensing of EBS product/applicator inputs, (2) turnkey project delivery including design, engineering, materials testing, project management, and certification for enterprise clients, and (3) specialized project consulting for institutional and government-funded programs aligned with World Bank, IFC, and AfDB frameworks. GTM is enterprise field sales led, supplemented by a global distributor and partner program that establishes Local Agencies in-country, and a technology licensing model that extends reach without direct project execution. Pricing is bespoke and quote-based, scoped to site-specific assessments, dilution rates, and project geometry rather than published unit pricing.

Soil Solutions serves nine vertical segments, with Mining, Aviation/Airstrips, and Government/Infrastructure identified as primary. Named enterprise customers include Xstrata, Palabora Mining, Anglo American, African Barrick Gold, Harmony Gold, Resolute Mining, Assmang, and Acacia Mining across Africa; Shell (formerly BG) Bolivia in oil and gas; and government clients such as Ondo State (Nigeria) and Cape Town Airport. The company reports 300+ completed projects across 30+ countries and 5 continents, holds UN Level 2 Vendor status, is a UN Global Compact signatory, and has secured World Bank RAMMP program approval, positioning it for institutional and ESG-aligned infrastructure funding pipelines.

Core offering

Soil Solutions manufactures and sells its proprietary Engineered Base Stabilizer (EBS), a nano-modified emulsion applied to in-situ soil and road materials to create sealed, load-bearing, water-resistant, dust-free infrastructure. Around this core product, the company delivers turnkey construction, project consulting, and vertical-specific solution packages for gravel roads, asphalt recycling, airstrips, mine haul roads, military deployments, renewable energy sites, and agricultural sand stabilization for enterprise and government customers worldwide.

Product overview

Soil Solutions offers a unified platform centered on its proprietary Engineered Base Stabilizer (EBS) technology—a nano-modified emulsion that transforms in-situ materials into sealed, high-performance infrastructure. The core product portfolio includes EBS Surface Seal as the primary surface treatment application, supported by specialized solution verticals for Gravel Roads, Airstrips, Mining, Military, Renewables, and Agriculture sectors. Additional offerings encompass Asphalt Recycling services (Cold In-Place Recycling and Full Depth Reclamation), Project Consulting, and Government Gravel Road Programs. All solutions leverage the same EBS technology platform to deliver water-resistant, dust-free, long-lasting surfaces with significant cost and environmental advantages over traditional construction methods.
