Pump track – A new use for ANSS
AnyWay Solid Environmental Solutions, October 2009
 |
AnyWay’s road stabilization product, ANSS, has recently been applied in a new and novel cycling project. A bike track was designed and built for local youth as part of an urban and community activity center. The cycling park is called ‘Pump track’ and it is a network of trails that riders go through without using the bike pedals but only by ‘pumping’ with the mass of their bodies. The trails stand up to aggressive turns at high speeds and are made of recycled quarry leftovers stabilized with ANSS. The unique track design was the work of Lotan Architects who specializes in landscape design and special projects such as this. |
Further Ecological Motivation

AnyWay in the Kruger National Park
AnyWay Solid Environmental Solutions, April 2009
 |
AnyWay Solutions was recently invited to construct two additional road trial sections in the Kruger National Park in South Africa. This follows trials done with ANSS on unsurfaced KNP roads under the supervision of the CSIR nearly two years ago. The results achieved on these earlier trials have been extremely satisfying and motivated the running of additional trials to further investigate the possibilities of maintaining the roads in the Park in an environmentally friendly way. The Kruger National Park is searching for a way to construct and maintain the roads using non-traditional, eco-friendly methods that do not place an additional burden upon their precious natural resources. The use of ANSS to stabilize and rehabilitate the roads by upgrading the in-situ soils offers these advantages for unsurfaced roads such as those within the KNP |

Soil stabiliser supports stadium construction
Engineering News, by Jonathan Faurie, November 2008
| Biking across the countryside is becoming increasingly popular around the world. It is no longer just a sport for competitive cyclists but also a fun activity for the entire family. This growth in popularity has spawned a need for all-season cycling trails that maintain the natural look of their environment, while providing a safe and comfortable riding surface. While AnyWay’s Natural Soil Stabilizer (ANSS) has been used to construct such trails for years, a recent bike path project in Israel has added a further green dimension by utilizing ANSS with recycled materials. In this project, the trails were built using recycled building materials grinded to a specific gradation and mixed with the local soil. The mixture was stabilized with ANSS, resulting in a strong, durable surface with a natural look. |
