AERATION , IRRIGATION & DRAINAGE
“
The Terrain Aeration Terralift machines penetrate the ground to a depth of one metre , releasing a blast of compressed air which fractures and relieves the compacted soil , creating permanent aeration and drainage .
The Terralift can then deal with the oil-bioremediation using specialist products in the area down to one metre depth .
Penetrating deep into the ground , hard areas may be encountered , such as flint and solid building material . The Terralift probe is designed to break through the solid layers , employing a JCB hammer incorporated as part of the machine . Once the hard materials have been penetrated , the compressed air blast released creates fractures and fissures . These are injected with dried seaweed as part of the process , keeping , in this case , the clay seen in the core sample open and allowing surface water to drain quickly down one metre and naturally percolating away .
What was once was a waterlogged area is transformed into a healthy soil structure with good root zone . Of course , not all compacted ground will have the same strata , but the Terrain Aeration process is used to treat all types of waterlogging , from small gardens to parks , public spaces and sports pitches to bowling greens .
