Soil stabilization is a alternative
method of creating an improved soil surface using a special soil
stabilizer equipment. The
soil needs to be stabilized with the time in order to increase its
strength and durability, but also to prevent dust generation and
erosion. Almost any soil on any site can be improved for bulk fill
applications and to build pavements, railways, embankments or roads.
The soil stabilisation can be done using a soil stabiliser
and lime, cement or other
binder materials to improve a weak soil on the most cost-effective
way. A soil stabiliser is
a machine, or a vehicle powered by a metal drum, that blends the
existing pavement with lime. Soil stabilisers are
powerful and usually use carbide tips.
However,
by stabilizing the soil in the same place where it is, the
construction process can be performed very quickly and
cost-effective. The many years of using soil stabilisers
have proven to be the best
method of soil stabilisation, so you should know all its benefits.
Cost-effective
– The traditional dig & dump method is very expensive, while
the soil stabilisation on-site is significantly more cost-effective.
The traditional method includes the cost of involving vehicles to
move the material and landfill taxes. Using soil
stabilisers you can achieve a
rigid and well-treated soil, which leads to reduced thickness design
for a foundation or a pavement layer.
Time
– The requirements for construction site preparation can be shorten
by performing a soil stabilisation. With soil stabilizers,
you can dry and strengthen a wet ground and make it ready for
immediate building or setting foundation on it. This also means that
you will be able to work with your soil stabiliser in
extended periods of time and in the coldest winter.
No
Landfill Taxes – The
landfill taxes can be very high, so it is very important to avoid
such. Soil stabilisation performed on-site makes the soil already
available for building or setting foundations on it, so you avoid
paying landfill taxes. And as all available soils can be immediately
used, tipping is eliminated and some other associated tipping
charges.
Great
Environmental Impact –
Soil improvement techniques involve removal and excavation of
inappropriate and unwanted materials from the soil. All associated
construction activities and movements of vehicles should be avoided,
as they are very expensive, especially for larger projects. But
fortunately, they can be replaced with the on-site soil stabilisation
using a soil stabiliser and
small amounts of cement. The result is lower cost, lower congestion
and of course, less neighbor conflict.
