Soil stabilization transforms low-quality soil into a stable engineering medium. It’s primarily used to improve the load-bearing capacity of the land to make it a more solid and dependable surface for heavy construction projects like building roads and pouring foundations. Below are a few benefits of stabilizing the soil of a property.

Top 3 Reasons to Perform Soil Stabilization

1. Save Money & Time

Surfaces that are in constant use with heavy traffic need to be sturdy and reliable. If they're not, they can lead to conditions that require costly maintenance and repair. If the underlying soil is not stable enough, such issues will only reemerge in the future. Surface condition problems can prevent vehicle access on a job site, which in turn leads to lost production time. With soil stabilization, you save time and money by reinforcing the subbase.

2. Lessen Environmental Impact

Installing a surface demands multiple truckloads of material, and with increased traffic comes greater carbon dioxide emissions. Rising CO2 levels are largely responsible for environmental issues by trapping heat energy in the atmosphere and warming the planet. Soil stabilization demands less surface material, which means fewer vehicles are needed in the installation process — something Mother Nature will truly appreciate.

3. It's Easy to Apply

Most types of soil stabilization require little in the way of specialized tools. The installation process utilizes standard construction equipment and methods. This results in less downtime and a less expensive and involved application.
