Soil ‘ENHANCEMENT’ – Soft Stabilisation
Controlled application and mixing of a low dose modified
cementitious binder into soils close to their optimum moisture
content (+/- 2%)
Enhances soil compressive strength enough to form a bearing
layer for surface stone or concrete (armoured) layers to be
founded upon.
Provides semi-permanent changes in material properties but
needs to have lifetime drainage system to stop saturation &
softening of treated material
Requires sub-soil CBR > 2.5% and organic contents typically < 2%
This is not the RoadCem way!
