SOLID FOUNDATION FOR SUCCESSFUL ENDEAVORS

Today’s sites typically involve unsuitable soils for construction. Soil drying and modification can convert unsuitable soils to suitable soils with the use of a Soil Stabilization contractor.

Soil Stabilization is the alteration of soils to enhance their physical properties. Lime Soil Stabilization can increase the shear strength of soil and/or control the shrink-swell properties, thus improving the load-bearing capacity of a subgrade to support pavements and foundations while lowering construction times.

The chemical stabilization of soil can be utilized on roadways, parking areas, site development projects, airports, and many other situations where sub-soils are not suitable for construction. Stabilization can be used to treat a wide range of subgrade materials, varying from expansive clays to granular materials. This process is accomplished using a wide variety of additives, including lime, fly ash, and Portland cement. Other material byproducts used in Stabilization include lime-kiln dust (LKD) and cement-kiln dust (CKD).

How Soil Stabilization works

Here's our Process

Soil Stabilization - Spreading

01

Spreading

An additive is then placed on top of the soil material. This additive is mixed and re-mixed with the soil until the desired properties are achieved.

Soil Stabilization - Mixing

02

Mixing

Additive is mixed to proper depth, graded and compacted.

Soil Stabilization Compactor

03

Compacting

Compacting a soil by reducing the void space between soil particles to increase the shear strength.

Soil Stabilization - Finished Site

04

Finish

Stabilized soils are ready for next step.

SOIL STABILIZATION VS OTHER PROCESSES

  • Allows for a budget up to 80% smaller
  • Time savings of at least 50%
  • Provides protection from future environmental factors
  • Can be adjusted to precise requirements and resistance values

How Can Soil Stabilization Help You?

Soil stabilization is an innovative, inexpensive technology designed to upgrade the shear strength of construction sites and roadway foundations. You can think of it as a College Fund for your roadway, giving it the strength, durability, and preparation for the future that it needs to succeed in any test it’s put through.

 

Is Soil Stabilization The Right Choice For Me?

The short answer: Yes.

Soil stabilization is a growing process and is currently being used in new applications every day. Currently, it is most commonly employed in areas such as:

  • Parking Lots
  • Garages
  • Building Pads
  • Asphalt Roads
  • Water containment for levees, dikes, and reservoirs
  • Certified Athletic Competition Fields
