Preserving Angola’s Investment: Erosion Control for the Malange Dry Container Port Facility 🚢🌍
As Angola’s trade sector continues to expand, the Port of Luanda faced increasing congestion due to the nation’s heavy reliance on imports from Europe, China, and the U.S.. To ease congestion and improve logistics, the Angolan Government initiated the development of dry container port facilities at Viana and Malange.
The Challenge: Protecting an Unfinished Infrastructure Investment
The Malange Dry Container Port Facility underwent significant civil earthworks, including land clearing, grading, and leveling. However, financial constraints stalled the project before completion. To safeguard the investment and prevent erosion and material loss, the Angolan Government sought a long-term preservation solution, leading them to KMS Comércio Indústria e Construção and Soil Solutions.
The EBS Erosion Control Solution
Working alongside our Angolan partner, Mr. Kilamba Neto of KMS Comércio Indústria e Construção, Soil Solutions implemented an advanced erosion control solution using Engineered Base Stabilizer (EBS).
✔ Site Preparation – The 30-hectare area was graded and compacted for a uniform surface.
✔ EBS Surface Seal Application – Applied in multiple coats using water tankers, creating a thin, durable crust.
✔ Erosion & Dust Prevention – The EBS seal ensures:
🔹 Protection against wind & rain erosion
🔹 Elimination of dust pollution
🔹 Enhanced weather & water resistance
🔹 Prevention of material loss
Long-Term Benefits
✅ Preserves the project site until construction resumes without hindering future work.
✅ Eliminates the need for costly rework, saving time and resources.
✅ Minimizes environmental impact, reducing dust emissions and soil degradation.
By implementing EBS, Soil Solutions has secured Angola’s investment, ensuring the Malange Dry Container Port Facility remains intact and ready for future development.
