<![CDATA[Soil Stabilisation is an expanding area in the lime applications market.
In practice there are two principle outlets where lime fulfills this role; in
road construction as a preliminary treatment for the land and in the stablisation
of building sites to provide a workable construction platform./p> As lime has
a high affinity for moisture, producing a blotting action on clay and silt soils,
its use to strengthen and stabilise the subgrade in road construction has long
been recognised by road builders. However, this drying and weather - proofing
action can be further exploited to reduce the effect of wet weather on construction
sites.
