A unique contract to soil stabilisation!  The client has a rally car testing site that suffered from excessive rutting after only one test run.  Beach was asked to design a pavement that would stand up to  this very unusual wear - especially on the corners.  A mix design was drawn up and areas were treated.  On the 5th November, non other than double world champion, Marcus Gronholm tested a current RWC car on the areas and failed to damage the surface at all.  Subsequent visit in May/June 2007 to complete phase 1 of the project. Further Works scheduled for August 2009.
