Treating the existing soils, versus replacing them with aggregates or other materials can lead to significant savings.
ViaCalco® is a solution dedicated to treatment, stabilization and improvement of all types of cohesive soils. By adding a lime-based mixture adapted to the type of soil, it is possible to completely eliminate or at least substantially reduce the volume of the supplied materials. So there is an ecological as well as an economical benefit with significant added value. It will no longer be necessary to extract, transport and / or deliver "external" materials, or store (landfill) the excavated and unused material, which can reduce costs by up to 50%.
Case study: Excavation for embankments
Assumptions:
- 300 m between excavation and embankment zone
- 20 km between worksite and depo/site
- 20 km between worksite and quarry
Using the stabilized soils guarantees a higher bearing capacity and increased resistance to compression which allow the designers to reduce the upper layers of aggregates from the platform structure.
Savings from the design phase
At the same time, treating the existing soils requires a reduced execution time versus replacing it with other materials. The stabilization process allows using the soils with high humidity levels, transforming them immediately into materials that can be easily compacted.
ViaCalco® is a complete solution for all types of soils:
