Geotechnical

Using cementitious binders to stabilize existing soils and pavement material is a time-saving and cost-effective solution for:

Geotechnical applications: soil modification (to expedite construction), soil stabilization (for enhancing strength characteristics) or full depth reclamation (to enhance the base portion of pavement), and full depth reclamation (FDR) to recycle existing asphalt and create a more durable, cost effective pavement.
Environmental remediation: mixing cementitious products such as cement, slag, cement kiln dust or fly ash into contaminated soil will convert heavy metals into non-hazardous (leachable) forms (stabilization), or encapsulate organic contaminants in situ (solidification).

Why not remove the material and replace it with aggregates?

Eliminating “dig and haul” reduces labor and equipment for excavation. It also means less trucking to and from the jobsite, saving fuel and reducing the chances of truck accidents.
Reusing the existing material means it is treated and not relegated to outside landfills. Waste material becomes an engineered construction product.
It is a proven approach, identified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as a Best Demonstrated Available Technology for more than 50 Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) listed wastes.

Your Challenges, Our Solutions

There are material shortages in my area, and I’m not sure which materials will be available to stabilize the soil on my project.
I need my materials to provide consistency and performance.
It’s possible that pockets of oil are present in the soil. We need a partner who can resolve issues quickly and efficiently.

Throughout the United States, our family of companies has one of the most sophisticated logistical networks. We are uniquely positioned to have insights into market conditions and the supply chain. Our team can guide you when it comes to selecting materials that are available in your local area.

We offer a wide portfolio of products that are uniquely designed to achieve a level of performance. Our technical services engineers are experts in the industry and understand the science behind cementitious materials. They help our customers with testing and trials – and work in partnership with you to develop materials that perform consistently and effectively.

With our expertise in soil remediation, we’re ready to help resolve soil-related issues as they arrive onsite. We’re a good partner to have on hand, and we’ll be there when you need us. This material can either be treated onsite, or sent to our cement plants and burned as fuel for the kilns.
