Mine Tailings & Quarry Cross Linked Soil Capping Matrix
in Manitoba

Aggressive spring runoff will destroy flood-prone embankments unless you lay specialized geotextiles. You must spray rapid-germinating cover crops in a heavy-duty hydromulch to stabilize disturbed slopes fast. Mix lime or cement into the deep lacustrine clays to build bearing capacity and stabilize the subsoil.

Operational Constraints for Mine Tailings & Reclamation

Mine tailings and quarry cuts present one of the most hostile environments for revegetation. These sites feature extreme pH imbalances, sterile particulate matter, and unnaturally steep cut angles. Airborne toxic dust is an immediate operational hazard that triggers severe MSHA and EPA environmental fines. Standard agricultural hydroseeding fails completely in these sterile conditions. The site requires a heavy-duty, high-viscosity soil capping matrix that locks down dust instantly upon application and provides a highly retentive micro-environment to force seed germination in otherwise dead soil.

Meeting MTI (Manitoba Transportation and Infrastructure) Standard Construction Specifications Specifications

OHRA ViscoLok anchors seed and mulch directly to the subsoil, providing the rain-fast shear strength required by MTI (Manitoba Transportation and Infrastructure) Standard Construction 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.
