Lime Stabilization

Lime stabilization is a process that improves the strength and durability of soil by adding lime—such as quicklime or hydrated lime. When lime is mixed into the soil, it reacts chemically, reducing moisture content and binding soil particles together. This results in a more stable, less plastic, and easier-to-compact material suitable for construction or road bases. The process enhances load-bearing capacity, reduces swelling or shrinking, and helps prevent erosion, making the soil more suitable for building foundations or infrastructure projects in challenging environmental conditions.
