Reactive Soils

With the continued rain occurring around Australia and with construction activities ongoing, there are areas in Australia where reactive clays are causing headaches for clients, contractors and designers. The use of lime to treat these highly reactive clays offers a reduction in plasticity, moisture-holding capacity, swell and offers improved stability allowing for the ability to construct on a solid working platform. The benefits of stabilising the clay will expedite construction time and save delays and costs to projects. With some laboratory testing of the native material and undertaking mix designs, your troubled clays can be permanently altered to provide a suitable base from which to construct. #teamhiways, #insiturecycling
