the industry-required standard is minimum 95% compaction and less than 5% air voids for many high end performance situations such as, under building foundations.
We are successfully using soil stabilisation techniques as an effective means of gaining control of the soil moisture content during the course of undertaking structural earthworks operations. This ll drying technique has been proven to achieve the required density driven speci cation, and it has met the requirements of engineers, clients and insurers on various projects throughout
the UK.
Soil stabilisation can offer major bene ts including:
• It conditions non-engineered material to an appropriate engineered solution;
• High strength ll material with minimal settlement or swell;
• Engineered back- ll ready for strip foundation and ground bearing oor slabs;
• Reduces the need for stone piling and mass concrete;
• No requirement for stone capping layers on roads, car parking areas etc;
• Creates a capability to recycle on-site material, thereby reducing material going off-site and decreasing aggregates coming back on-site;
• Reduces the environmental impact through better use of existing site materials and reduced haulage.
