Soil Stabilization

Soil stabilization is the alteration of one or more soil properties, by mechanical or chemical means, to create an improved soil material possessing the desired engineering properties. Soils may be stabilized to increase strength and durability or to prevent erosion and dust generation. Regardless of the purpose for stabilization, the desired result is the creation of a soil material or soil system that will remain in place under the design use conditions for the design life of the project.

APAC-Tennessee Base and stabilization crews are experience in both mechanical and chemical soil stabilization methods. Whether it be as part of the pavement structure design or assist with erosion and dust control on the project.
