Soil Stabilization Services for Roads and Structures
Soil stabilization offers a cost-effective solution for strengthening soil, ensuring it is suitable for construction projects across Maryland. This method is particularly essential when natural soil conditions cannot support the required infrastructure, such as roads or structures.
Benefits of Soil Stabilization
There are several advantages to using soil stabilization. For starters, it significantly enhances freeze-thaw resistance, protecting your project from harsh weather conditions. Additionally, it extends the construction season, allowing work to continue throughout the year. As a result, this process helps reduce the costs associated with asphalt and base materials. In short, soil stabilization solves the problem of unsuitable soils, enabling the construction of durable roads and structures.
How Soil Stabilization Works
The process begins by altering the structure and texture of the soil, transforming it into a stable material suitable for use as fill. Specifically, Portland Cement is added to the sub-grade, in quantities and depths determined by a soils engineer. Next, our skilled crews utilize specialized equipment to mix and stabilize the soil, turning the unstable site into a solid, reliable foundation.
Additionally, a geo-technical engineer evaluates the soil conditions and recommends the exact amount of cement or lime needed for optimal stabilization. For example, soils with higher plasticity, such as clay, require more cement to meet the necessary strength and durability standards.

Soil stabilization has a wide range of applications. It’s commonly used in road construction, water resource projects, and for creating pond berms. With C.J.
