We have been carrying
out lime stabilisation since 1985 throughout Queensland and Northern
New South Wales. This process is predominately aimed at remedial
works for distress. During this period, experience has allowed for
the development of the lime stabilisation process where it can be
offered as an effective and cost reduced alternative to other forms
of work such as Underpinning.
The process of the work is very similar to pressure grouting with
lime as opposed to grout being pumped into the area required.
The addition of small qualities of lime to expansive clays will
reduce the plasticity of the soil and its swelling potential. Lime
drastically reduces the expansive potential of clay soils. Expansion
of soil is a major factor in foundation movement which most times
will lead to the requirement of underpinning on your property.
