Civil engineering with a cause: liquid soil methods from EcoSoil.
New techniques for a new era.
A new generation of builders and planners is demanding new, sustainable solutions. EcoSoil delivers innovation to construction projects committed to minimising their impact on nature. Our liquid soil method is a pioneering alternative to conventional civil engineering methods. Setting entirely new standards in sustainability, this solution still offers the technical and cost benefits that the construction industry has become accustomed to.
Our aim is to empower everyone in the construction industry to act responsibly, conserve resources and set a smart example. This is civil engineering how it should be: helping people to build their own future.
“EcoSoil is making construction more sustainable and more cost-efficient at the same time. Given that this particular industry accounts for a considerable portion of the environmental footprint, these solutions represent the future.“

The smart method with natural benefits.
Simple yet innovative: EcoSoil liquid soil is a fluid, self-compacting mixture made from excavated soil matter that delivers significant improvements in the backfilling process.
Preserves our groundwater
Working exclusively with local soil material, EcoSoil requires no chemical additives.
Protects our soil
The solidified soil is easy to extract, and its natural composition makes it safe to reuse.
Conserves our climate
A drastic reduction in long-haul transportation translates into lower carbon dioxide emissions and particulate pollution. It's quieter – and safer.
And it’s worry-free
The EcoSoil liquid soil solution is superior to conventional methods, doesn't settle and saves time and money when used correctly.
How the EcoSoil approach is gaining ground.
Constructing sustainable buildings is not just a matter of calculating their ecological footprint once they officially open. At EcoSoil, we are committed to sustainable construction from the moment that a project breaks ground.
After all, EcoSoil’s liquid soil method solely draws on natural building materials and relies on local soil material that can be used and reused – dramatically cutting transport distances. The bottom line: resources are conserved, and the soil stays intact.
A specialist you can count on.
As a provider of liquid soil solutions, we inspire builders, advise planners and support construction companies in their work. We invest substantial time and energy in research and development. And we work with colleges, certified building materials laboratories and renowned engineering firms to constantly optimise the EcoSoil method.
Today, there is little reason to choose conventional methods. But there are so many reasons to opt for new and sustainable construction methods such as EcoSoil. Many successful projects prove that it's worth taking a new approach. It's worth charting a new course. And it's worth building a sustainable future today for a better tomorrow.
“This building material truly embodies sustainability and resource optimisation. The boost in efficiency and output on the construction site is clear to see. And its many possible uses make it very appealing.“

Efficiency and economy, guaranteed.
Our infrastructure fully covers the entire process, from the extraction of raw materials to reinstallation, including preparation of EcoSoil’s liquid soil method. Thanks to transparent testing and certification, our building materials are consistently of the highest quality grade.
1. Quality control of excavated material
2. Transport of excavated material to the EcoSoil plant
3. Treatment of soil to achieve the desired grain size
4. Mixing of liquid soil using EcoSoil methods
5. Incorporation of EcoSoil liquid soil on the construction site
6. Quality certificate and control of EcoSoil standards
A wealth of applications.
EcoSoil liquid soil offers a wide range of possible applications for backfilling in civil engineering. Trench fill, void filling, conduit fill or backfill are just a few examples. We are also in the process of researching other promising uses in foundations, excavation support and underpinning.
This environmentally friendly building material encloses underground components without cavities and achieves maximum soil strength without recompaction. It can also be easily removed using a simple spade. Wherever there’s innovation: EcoSoil is perfect for getting your project off the ground.

The best quality for civil engineering.
EcoSoil liquid soil does so much more than conserve economic and environmental resources. This process also meets all quality and safety specifications, as proven by the following test results and certifications
- Testing of eluates
- Hydraulic permeability
- Frost protection (CBR)
- Crushing strength (ME, EVD, uniaxial, CBR)
Our comprehensive quality assurance process guarantees the proper use and consistent quality of the backfill at every stage of the construction process.
