Pump Friendly Soil Capping Matrix
in Louisiana

Highly saturated alluvial soils and expansive clays give you zero bearing capacity. You must mix in lime or cement to structurally stabilize the subsoil. High humidity and intense rain will strip your slopes bare, so you must lay turf reinforcement mats (TRMs) and spray advanced polymeric tackifiers to lock the seedbed in place.

Operational Constraints for Large-Scale Civil Projects

Large-scale earth-moving operations expose vulnerable subsoil to immediate wind and water shear. Traditional stabilization methods require excessive manual labor, heavy equipment tracking over finished grades, and frequent repeat applications after weather events. You require a high-yield hydraulic matrix that locks down the slope in a single pass. The binder must flow smoothly through the hydroseeder pump without fisheye clumping, maximizing your tank yield and eliminating the need for constant mechanical agitation adjustments on the job site.

Meeting LADOTD Standard Specifications for Roads and Bridges, Section 717 (Seeding) and Section 718 (Deflocculant) Specifications

OHRA ViscoLok anchors seed and mulch directly to the subsoil, providing the rain-fast shear strength required by LADOTD Standard Specifications for Roads and Bridges, Section 717 (Seeding) and Section 718 (Deflocculant). 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.
