Think of soil stabilization as the new tool in your toolbox.
Stabilization is the smarter way to build performance and value into your design. The result is a better design, with less impacts, improved cost savings and expedited schedules.
Practical & Economical
Removing bad soil and replacing with spec material has been the age-old solution to the problem of building over weak inferior soils. Soil stabilization provides many practical and economical solutions by simply improving the in-situ soil properties. The value of using soil stabilization is that variable conditions can be addressed in the field with no export or import required.
Proven Sustainable Design
It’s no surprise that soil stabilization projects have won numerous awards for sustainable design. Many soil stabilization projects qualify for LEED credits and certification. The Public Works sector, Caltrans, Cities and Counties have embraced FDR (Full Depth Recycling) as the go to solution to rebuilding failed roads. Roadway projects originally planned as Remove and Replace (R & R) candidates can now be recycled in place at significant cost savings. Bottom line is stabilization saves on limited natural resources through reuse instead of throw away.

Standardized Design and Specifications
Soil stabilization is not new. Federal, State and local public works agencies have extensive design guidelines, details and specifications covering the design and construction of soil stabilization. There are many applications for its use, from roadways, airfields, building foundations and water resource projects. Caltrans, AASHTO and APWA Green book all contain references, guidelines, and specifications for use. Take comfort in the fact that you’re not the first to design a project with stabilization. All the details have been worked out.
