»3 Steps of Treatment

Furnishing the reagent:
The reagent, usually powdered Quicklime or Cement, arrives at the job site in pneumatic trucks. With the use of on-board blowers, the pneumatic truck transfers the reagent into a spreader truck. Approximately 1 hour is required to load 26 tons of material into the spreader truck.

Spreading the reagent:
The spreader truck spreads the reagent at the appropriate mix design percentage. The spreader truck utilizes an on-board computer and radar to precisely control the spread rate.

 

Water mixing:
The mixer and water truck are connected allowing for an integrated system where water is injected directly into the mixing chamber. The amount of water is controlled by the operator with the help of an on-board computer. The mix can be as deep as 18" per lift. After initial hydration, a second mix, or re-mix is performed allowing for final adjustments in the water content and further breakdown of soil gradation.

Compaction:
Initial compaction, in lifts up to 18", is achieved with specialized equipment. An open ring design and heavy weight allows for this single lift process.
