Rancho Santana: Enhancing Roads for a Safer, Smoother Experience

Rancho Santana, a world-class resort and residential community on Nicaragua’s Emerald Coast, spans 2,700 acres of rolling hills, five pristine beaches, and a wide range of dining, adventure, and relaxation experiences. Positioned between the Pacific Ocean and Lake Nicaragua, its unique isthmus location ensures near-constant offshore breezes.

The Challenge: Increased Traffic & Road Deterioration

With a rise in visitors, tourists, and locals, Rancho Santana’s roads began showing signs of wear, including:
Corrugation & rutting – Uneven surfaces affecting driving comfort
Loose surface material – Reducing road stability
Excessive dust – Impacting visibility and safety

The Solution: EBS Surface Seal by Soil Solutions

Chief Engineer Alan Vilchez reached out to Soil Solutions for a durable, low-maintenance, and water-resistant solution that would also eliminate dust. An EBS Surface Seal was selected as the ideal treatment.

Despite the challenges of the COVID-19 lockdown, the project was executed successfully with:
Product delivery & custom-built spray bars
Remote coordination & communication for on-site application
A seamless, dust-free surface with improved durability

The Results: A Sustainable & Safer Road Network

🚗 Smooth, erosion-resistant roads with UV and water resistance
🌿 Eco-friendly solution that blends with the natural beauty of the resort
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Enhanced safety for residents, visitors, and local communities

The upgraded roads complement Rancho Santana’s stunning landscapes and unparalleled experiences, making every journey as enjoyable as the destination.
