INTRODUCTION TO ADVANCED GEOTECHNICAL SOIL
STABILIZATION
Types of services:
1. Stabilizing problematic soil conditions beneath buildings, roadways, and runways.
a. AgSS 5000 is an ionic soil stabilizing chemical that reduces the swell
potential and soil suction of clay soils. A very cost effective method of
remediating swelling clay soils. And It’s carbon neutral stabilization, One 55 gallon drum, 210 liters of AgSS is equal to 36 tons of powered stabilizer.
b. PPE is a plastic polymer emulsion asphalt that is used to stabilize road and
runway subgrade soils. PPE will increase the soil strength, modulus of
resilience, and durability of road and runway subgrades that are paved.
Non paved road will also have similar improvements to their subgrade
soils plus a reduction in dust potential. See Report
c. BRS is a polymer emulsion that is used for dust control on transportation
roads, forest service roads, mine haulage roads, and construction projects.
2. Underpinning and releveling distressed structures.
a. Helical Piers - Chance Helical Applicator.
b. Micropiles - Williams or Titan coarse threaded hollow bar steel.
3. Repairing cracked and damaged concrete floor slabs, foundations, basement
walls, and retaining walls.
4. New construction.
a. Utilizing AgSS 5000 to reduce the swell potential of clay soils before
constructing roads or buildings.
b. Utilize Helical Piers or Micropiles to provide a very stable deep
foundation for any type of surface structure.
5. Slope stabilization using soil nails or tie back ground anchors. Helical anchors or
Micropiles will be used for these methodologies.
