DOT Highway & Roadway Aquatic Safe Soil Matrix Amendment
in Saskatchewan

Semi-arid winds and sudden, intense rain will strip your slopes. You must spray drought-resistant native grass seed mixed with heavy tackifiers to lock it down. Stabilize the highly plastic expansive clay subgrades to stop massive volumetric changes when moisture levels fluctuate.

Operational Constraints for DOT Highway Expansion

Highway expansions and road widenings expose massive, continuous steep slopes directly adjacent to active traffic. The constant wind shear from passing heavy commercial vehicles and earth-moving equipment vibration degrade weak agricultural tackifiers long before vegetation can establish. Furthermore, contractors must apply the matrix across extended linear distances, requiring a slurry that sprays efficiently from the cannon without cavitating the hydroseeder pump. You need an engineered binder that provides extreme shear resistance to protect the embankment, prevent subgrade failure, and keep the roadway clear of sediment runoff.

Meeting MHI (Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure) Standard Specifications Specifications

OHRA GreenTack anchors seed and mulch directly to the subsoil, providing the rain-fast shear strength required by MHI (Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure) Standard Specifications. Its microplastic-free botanical hydrocolloid network forms a 3D matrix. It resists high-velocity storm runoff and keeps synthetic toxins out of the watershed.

The matrix prevents "fisheye" lumping inside your hydroseeder pump. This stops pump cavitation and reduces friction head loss. You maximize your tank's spray payload and eliminate constant agitation adjustments on the job site.
