1. A descriptive guide on the different applications and benefits of soil stabilisation We live in an era of infrastructural growth and development. A developed state like Queensland is an epitome of the advancement in engineering and construction techniques that have been evolved for decades. When it comes to investment into Queensland’s construction sector, the curve is said to be heading towards another boom period. The investments are highly cyclical, and the engineering construction activity is expected to grow steadily until 2022-23. The foundation for building any sky scrapping structure, or even digging a mine is the soil quality and nature, which has caused an increase in the use of stabilisers for road and non-road projects, not just in Queensland but all across the world. ( https://qldmpp.com.au/queensland-construction-outlook/) Soil stabilisation is any physical, chemical, mechanical, biological or combined method of changing a natural soil to meet an engineering purpose. . This, process binds loose soil and makes it less susceptible to cracks and crevices. Applications of Soil stabilisation When too much water permeates into the ground, or if the soil isn't properly prepared for adding concrete, there is a great possibility of soil erosion. The result can be leaks and cracks which can get on stake both the appeal as well as safety of a structure. Removing, relaying concrete and foundation repair can be very costly, but soil stabilisation and shotcreting can prove to be efficacious solutions that are also lighter to the pocket. Soil stabilisation can be used for any of the following applications: Haul roads, mine roads, secondary roads, logging roads, municipal and feeder roads. Construction sites Pond Liners Dams Parking Lots Erosion control Steep batters Culverts Underpinning structures Asset maintenance What are the advantages of soil stabilisation? Soil stabilisation in Queensland features many different benefits for industries such as miningand even transportation that are essential to the operation of their business. Save Time (shotcrete stabilising) With the application of stabilisers, you can eradicate any unnecessary stoppages that are caused by rainfall or factors beyond your control. Long-lasting results The best part about the soil stabilisation techniques is that many of them are permanent and do not need a constant application to maintain the conditions of the road. With just one

But using a soil stabiliser, one can ensure that the roads aren’t damaged during and after the project, saving time, money as well as the aesthetics of the environment. Cost-effective solution Having constant access is essential to the operation of a business for many general and mine haul roads. For them, soil stabilisation can be a great alternative for building strong, reliable and stable roads for transport. Easy application There is a myriad of soil stabilisation products or methods, and most of them can be applied with standard road-building equipment. At Queensland Shotcrete Services you can always reach out to the experts, and they can do the work for you.
