Oklahoma Cement Soultions

Realizing the common practice of spreading hazardous and unsafe powders to modify and stabilize soils, the SuperSlurry™ idea was conceived back in 2002 by members of the OCS team.  After spending months in a lab learning how to control the reaction and physical properties of Portland cement, the real challenges began.  The next expensive and pain-staking stage was to develop a plant that could duplicate results in the field obtained in the lab.  The final stage, although evolving with technology, is placing a precise amount of slurry specified by the engineer design.  This replaces antiquated powder spread methods and takes the guessing out of volume mixing.

Construction Benefits

Material testing results show cement slurry can reduce the specified quantity needed for stabilization.  Reducing the quantity of material, reduces the amount of material delivered by trucks and this reduces the emission expelled into the environment. 

Unlike powder products, this dust free application meets the requirements established by OSHA Standard 1926.1153.  By eliminating air borne particles, construction zone visibility increases minimizing construction accidents and traffic accidents.  Air borne particles are not only harmful to humans but construction equipment and personal property.

OCS automated process of producing and placing slurry provide a method meeting the design specified requirements established by the engineer.  By using computers in the manufacturing of slurry, material consistency is maintained load after load.  By monitoring the speed of the truck and controlling the placement of the slurry, consistency is continued while placing the slurry.   

The complete process must be considered when using a product.  When using slurry, cost savings can be found by reducing man-hours and equipment hours, size of crew, equipment maintenance, equipment parts and cost of water.
