Soil stabilization modifies subgrade soils to improve:

• Load-bearing capacity
• Tensile and shear strength
• Durability and performance
• Resistance to moisture and erosion

This process is especially effective for treating expansive clays, granular soils, sands, and waste materials commonly found across Texas and surrounding regions.

The soil stabilization process is achieved by blending soil with specific additives selected based on soil type and project requirements. Common materials include:

• Fly ash
• Portland cement
• Lime
• Custom blended stabilization agents

These materials improve soil structure through chemical and mechanical reactions, creating a stronger, more stable foundation capable of supporting pavement and structural loads.

Our soil stabilization solutions support a wide range of construction and infrastructure projects, including:

• Earthworks and site preparation
• Road construction and haul roads
• Parking lots and commercial developments
• Airport runways and access roads
• Industrial pads and foundations
• Mining, oil & gas, and energy projects

Cost & Performance Advantages: Reduces the need to remove and replace unsuitable soils, minimizes hauling and material import costs, and increases soil strength.

Environmental Benefits: Lowers carbon footprint due to reduced trucking, less disruption to surrounding land, and sustainable reuse of existing soils.

Project Efficiency: Faster construction schedules, reduced weather-related delays, and lower long-term maintenance costs.

What is soil stabilization?

Soil stabilization is the process of improving the engineering properties of soil to make it suitable for construction. It increases load-bearing capacity, strength, and durability of weak or unsuitable soils used in roadways, parking areas, foundations, and site development projects.

Why is soil stabilization important in Houston and Texas?

Many areas in Texas, including Houston, have expansive clay and moisture-sensitive soils. Soil stabilization helps prevent settlement, cracking, erosion, and long-term structural damage caused by soil movement and changing moisture conditions.

What materials are used for soil stabilization?

Common materials include Fly ash, Portland cement, Lime, and Custom blended stabilization agents. The selection depends on soil type, moisture content, and project requirements.

How does fly ash help in soil stabilization?

Fly ash improves soil strength by forming cementitious compounds when mixed with soil and moisture. It enhances load-bearing capacity, reduces plasticity, improves compaction, and increases long-term durability.

Can soil stabilization reduce construction costs?

Yes. It reduces or eliminates the need to remove and replace unsuitable soils. This lowers hauling, material import, and disposal costs while reducing pavement thickness and long-term maintenance expenses.
