Building a pad from lime stabilized soil

Article Abstract:

Lime soil stabilization can offer an appropriate solution for composting facility siting. This technique creates an impervious layer, ensuring that water does not penetrate, and also offers an all-weather surface that permits vehicles to be used in all conditions. The ease with which soils can be stabilized varies, but most soils can be lime stabilized. Sandy or silty soils with less than 10% clay will require a source of silicates and aluminates to create links between soil particles for the natural cement to form.
