About TerraFirma

TerraFirma is the Middle East regional leader for polymer soil stabilization, roads and pathways, sand migration, and dust control. Established in 2012, TerraFirma uses specially developed environmentally friendly technology. It is produced in KSA.

TerraFirma History

In 1937 Aramco produced a document that called for a solution to their blowing sand problem, but only when TerraFirma was launched in 2012, was a solution that worked made available. In the region of finance and technology a plenty, TerraFirma technology was launched in a very different and unique way.

Studying the topography, analyse the soils, chart the weather, design the Barrier (sand berm) to its correct height, shape, and position, design the polymer requirements to fit.These are the key areas that TerraFirma look at to protect against blowing sand. The berm does not move as the surface is fixed with a hard polymer cap. The sand particles travel, hit the berm and drop to the foot of the berm, not on the railway or road being protected. Similar technology applies to embankment erosion control and dust suppression.
