Limbase quicklime applications

Stabilisation of weak, clays and other marginal soils with quicklime is an environmentally beneficial way of making them suitable for use within the construction process.

Improvements made are:

Increase of shear strength and bearing capacity
Reduction of susceptibility to shrinkage and swelling
Improved resistance to weather and traffic
Reduction of water content to improve strength, workability and compaction

 

Limbase quicklime benefits

Dramatic reduction in the requirement to import fill and granular subbase materials
Avoidance of muck shifting and tipping charges
Treatment of contaminated soils
Minimising the effect of wet weather
Greatly reduced environmental impact
Avoidance of the aggregate tax
Reduction in construction traffic
