Soil Stabilisation has been used in engineering projects in the UK for the last forty years. No other process allows such a rapid improvement in site condition and foundation strength.
The addition of quicklime to any soil or slurry will result in instantaneous drying.
When added to a cohesive soil the following changes also occur.

• Increased strength
• Reduced susceptibility to swelling and shrinkage
• Improved durability to weather and traffic
• Good handling and compaction characteristics
• A reduction in plasticity
• Suitability for stockpiling and subsequent reuse

Once treated with lime even the most plastic soil will breakdown into fine particles. This makes it suitable for the addition of cement, fly ash and ground granulated blast furnace slag that will impart significant strength and make the material suitable for subbase applications. Once the binders have been added and the correct moisture content is achieved the treated soil is compacted to a high standard to promote further strength gain and long-term durability.
