What Is Soil Stabilisation?

Soil stabilisation is a pivotal engineering process that enhances ground properties by adding specific binders or using mechanical means to alter the structure of in-situ soils. This process increases the bearing capacity, compaction, and resistance to water and frost—creating stable bases for roads, buildings, pavements, and other structures.

Our Soil Stabilisation Services

  • Site Analysis & Mix Design: Laboratory and field testing to determine the ideal stabilisation method for your site.

  • Lime & Cement Stabilisation: Addition of powdered lime or cement to modify moisture content and chemically bond soils for maximum compaction and strength.

  • Mechanical Stabilisation: Incorporation of geogrids or aggregate layers to increase soil stability where appropriate.

  • In-Situ Mixing: Advanced equipment blends binders directly into site-won soils, minimising waste.

  • On-Site Compliance Testing: Quality checks to ensure compliance with design and regulatory standards.

  • End-to-End Project Management: From planning through completion, ensuring efficient delivery and robust results.

Key Benefits

  • Cost-Effective: Eliminates the need for expensive removal and replacement of poor-quality soils—reducing material and transport costs.

  • Sustainable: Minimises landfill and resource use while enabling recycling of site-won materials.

  • Improved Performance: Enhances soil bearing strength, reduces settlement and permeability, and increases project longevity.

  • Versatile: Suitable for a wide range of soil types—clay, peat, silts, floodplains, contaminated land, and more.

  • Rapid Progress: Allows quicker site readiness, keeping your project on schedule.
