Mine Tailings & Quarry Slope Stabilizing Soil Matrix Tackifier
in Wales

Relentless rain demands robust erosion control and subsoil stabilization. You must spray deep-rooting seed that thrives in acidic, waterlogged soil to stop your embankments from scouring.

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 Design Manual for Roads and Bridges (DMRB) - Wales Highway Standards Specifications

OHRA GreenTack anchors seed and mulch directly to the subsoil, providing the rain-fast shear strength required by Design Manual for Roads and Bridges (DMRB) - Wales Highway Standards. 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.
