LIME
/ CEMENT STABILISATION
Stabilising with
lime, cement or other binders is an
extremely cost effective method of converting weak soils into a
usable and environmentally sound construction material.
Stabilisation of the available on-site material, construction can be
carried
out cost effectively, quickly and with less environmental impact.
Off-site disposal can be reduced to zero and import of aggregate
is
greatly reduced.
Stabilisisation is also used on our
housing developments,
enabling access roads to be created, providing the main contractor with
a
strong and highly durable product, ensuring the site remains open.

VIBRO
STONE COLUMNS
Vibro displacement stone columns are a
technically accepted and economic method of enhancing fill material and
weak soils to improve their load bearing and settlement
characteristics. The
process, very simply, involves introducing a vibrating poker to
penetrate to the designed depth and filling the resulting cavity with layers of inert stone or recycled
materials to ICE specification. The
poker is then reintroduced, creating confining pressure and densified
columns of support.

EARTHWORKS
Earthworks are
undertaken, to achieve the correct landform levels and shape prior to
stabilising.
The
laser dozer control system allows precision earthworks to be performed
quickly, which provides a cost efficient solution to the contractor.
This reliable system produces a highly accurate finish on stabilised
material and aggregate.

DYNAMIC COMPACTION
Dynamic
Compaction increases the density of the soil by repeatly dropping a
heavy weight on the ground at regularly spaced intervals. The degree of
compaction depends on the weight of the hammer, the height which the
weight is dropped and the spacing of the locations. The weight that is
used depends on the degree of compaction required, typically between
80kN to 360kN.

SUSTAINABLE
PATHWAY IMPROVEMENTS
Bridleway
surfaces deteriorate over time due to damage from horse-riders, cycle
and rambler traffic and the encroachment of vegetation.
The path is cleared and levelled, and the pathway stabilised with lime
and/or cement, providing users with a hardwearing and durable base,
acceptable in accordance with the Rights of Way Act 1990. |
