The process of Soil Stabilisation is gaining pace in Ireland and is becoming readily accepted on projects both large and small. Often Soil Stabilisation offers the only economic solution to ground conditions.
In short Soil Stabilisation has become the term to cover the treatment of soils with various binder applications to improve their properties and uses on site. Where previously for example a waterlogged clay may have been sent off site as muckaway, it can now be treated to fulfill roles on site such as bulkfill, capping and sub-base. The advantages of this treatment
Celtic Soil Solutions offer plant to apply the binders such as Lime or Cement and the mixers to incorporate these products into the parent material

Spreading
Streumaster RW 16000 spreader applies product (lime/cement) to the material with excellent spreading precision. Percentage product required depends on the required CBR and the MCV of material. Typical required would be 15%+.
CBR values
Moist Clay 5
Moist Sand 10
Clean Crushed Rock 70+
Mixing
Mixing drum pulverises the binding agent into the material working at the required depth, working in layers of 300mm.

Compaction
The correct compaction is vital to eliminate air pockets. Ideally use 19 tonne smooth drum or sheep's foot vibrating rollers.
Compaction tests are then carried out to ensure the required values have been met. (<4.5%)
