As part of the ongoing urban restoration project the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality is helping to rehabilitate and revive degraded areas and restore historical locations.
The July 15 Istanbul Memorial Forest consisting of a flag (ceremony) area, a monument, a square, a parking area and axles (pathways) between the sycamore trees is one of the projects which needed a minor revival with the upgrade of the axles, parking and entrance areas.
Soil Solutions was contacted for the design, construction and sealing of these areas using locally available ground sand to create a more natual and visually appealing appearance to eliminate the blowing of the sand.
Steps taken for the Istanbul Memorial Forest upgrade Project:
The ground sand was mixed, placed, shaped and compacted creating a smooth surface for the application of an EBS Surface Seal. The EBS Soil Stabilizer was applied in several coats and allowed to penetrate before opening the areas for public use.
The EBS constructed and sealed areas will now be UV and water resistant, free from erosion and deterioration, prevent any blowing sand, blend in with the surrounding environment and preserve the area for the many visitors to the Memorial Forest.
The EBS Soil Stabilizer is environmentally friendly and safe for flora, fauna, vegetation and wildlife and provides for a safer and healthier environment for those visiting this Memorial area.
