SMR SoilBind+ is an advanced soil stabilisation binder that transforms poor-quality or soft ground into a strong, stable foundation for construction. It works by bonding spoil particles together, increasing its load-bearing strength significantly when compacted.
It can be applied in-situ to immediately stabilise existing ground. Or, it can be pre-mixed with excavated spoil to form a hydraulically bound material that can be stockpiled and reused within 7 days.
Unlike traditional lime or cement stabilisation, which is typically limited to treating the sub-grade layer, SMR SoilBind+ can be used up to the base layer, achieving high CBR values that meet or exceed construction requirements. This eliminates the need for importing aggregate and allows the re-use of site-won material.
Ideal for both permanent and temporary works, SoilBind+ enables the creation of haul roads, compounds, access routes, working platforms, and structural layers using the ground already on site.

What Makes SMR SoilBind+ Different from Other Soil Stabilisation Methods?
- Extended Application Range: While lime/cement is typically limited to sub-grade stabilisation, SMR SoilBind+ can stabilise soils from sub-grade through to base layer.
- No Aggregate Import Needed: Once the ground is treated and compacted, it reaches the required structural strength, avoiding the cost and logistics of bringing in aggregate.
- No Excavation Required: Ground does not need to be removed and replaced. Existing site material is improved and reused in place.
- Faster, Simpler Construction Process: Reduced steps mean faster programme delivery and less reliance on heavy machinery or third-party suppliers.
Main Benefits for Developers
- Cost Savings: Eliminates costs related to muck-away, aggregate, and extended labour.
- Shorter Timelines: Immediate improvement of existing ground reduces project start-up times.
- Environmental Benefits: Fewer vehicle movements, reduced carbon emissions, and use of on-site materials.
Why This Matters Now
- Landfill and Aggregate Prices Are Rising: Making traditional groundworks more expensive and less sustainable.
- Housing and Infrastructure Delivery is Slowing: Due to poor site conditions and budget pressures.
- Climate Goals Demand Better Practices: Reducing carbon from heavy vehicle movements and material production is now a key KPI for many developers and councils.
How SMR UK is Collaborating with the Industry
SMR UK works closely with:
- Developers to unlock difficult sites with minimal cost.
- Contractors to deliver faster groundworks programmes.
- Local authorities to support sustainable construction methods.
We provide a full end-to-end service: technical advice, site visits, mix design support, and on-site guidance to ensure success with every application.
What This Means for the Industry
The construction sector is under pressure to reduce costs, speed up delivery, and lower its environmental impact. Soil stabilisation with SMR SoilBind+ is a key part of this transition.
It’s time for the industry to stop defaulting to muck-away and import. SMR SoilBind+ represents a smarter, leaner approach to preparing ground for construction.
