How To Stabilize Soil on Your Worksite or Construction Project

6/6/2022

 
​One of the most important aspects of any construction project is the stability of the soil. If the soil is not stable, it can lead to disastrous results. Before choosing a soil stabilization product, let’s discuss how to stabilize soil on your worksite or construction project. 
What Is Soil Stabilization?

Soil stabilization is the process of improving the physical properties of soil to make it more stable and resistant to erosion. This can be done through various methods, including compaction, adding soil stabilizers, and using sheet piling. Soil stabilization is essential for two main reasons: to improve the soil's bearing capacity and reduce the risk of erosion.

Choose Between Mechanical or Chemical Stabilization
There are many soil stabilization methods, and the best method for your project will depend on the specific conditions of your site. However, the two main soil stabilization methods used are mechanical and chemical stabilization. Mechanical stabilization examples include compaction, deep soil mixing, and stone columns. Chemical stabilization typically uses a soil binder, such as cement, lime, or polymers to improve the strength and stability of the soil.

How Does Soil Stabilization Affect Building Structures?
Soil stabilization is vital for both above and below ground structures. For above-ground structures, soil stabilization can improve the bearing capacity of the soil, which will help support the weight of the building. In addition, soil stabilization can also reduce the risk of erosion, which can cause damage to the foundation of the structure. For below-ground structures, soil stabilization is critical for preventing settlement and heaving, which can cause the structure to collapse.

The Benefits of Soil Stabilization
Soil stabilization offers a variety of benefits for construction projects. In general, soil stabilization improves the strength and stability of the soil, which can lead to several positive outcomes. For example, stabilized soil is less likely to erode, which can help to protect your worksite from damage. In addition, stabilized soil is also more resistant to compaction, which can improve your site's drainage and prevent flooding. Overall, soil stabilization is an invaluable tool that can help ensure your construction project's success.

How to Stabilize Soil With Envirotac Dust Control Products
Envirotac dust control products bind with soil particles and create a dust-free, hard surface. This process is called polymer modification, and it is an effective method for stabilizing soil. Envirotac products can be used on various surfaces, including asphalt, gravel, and dirt. EarthGlue and Envirotac are best applied to shaped roadways during warm, dry temperatures. Envirotac and EarthGlue cannot be allowed to freeze and require up to 2-4 days of dry conditions to cure. Follow these basic instructions:

Step 1. Add water. 
Step 2. Add Envirotac or Earth Glue.
Step 3. Spray Envirotac or EarthGlue/water solution to the desired area. 

All measurements of the products will vary based on how long you want the application to last. Products can be applied to last from 6 months to 2 years.
