METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR INCORPORATING BINDERS DURING GROUND STABILISATION
A method for incorporating binders during ground stabilisation, the method including continuously preparing ground in a mixing chamber (28) and adding binder in a substantially dry form directly to the mixing chamber. The binder may be supplied from a binder handling system which includes a continuously alternating, pressurised, multi-chamber binder-supply system having at least two supply chambers (36, 38) that are separately capable of being pressurised or placed under suction to continuously supply and maintain substantially full a binder reservoir (40). Also described is apparatus for incorporating binders during ground stabilisation, the apparatus being in the form of a machine capable of traversing the ground. The machine has a ground breaking assembly (20) with a mixing chamber (28), the ground breaking assembly being capable of co-operating with a binder handling system that is capable of continuously adding binder in a substantially dry form directly into the mixing chamber (28).
