Winter construction doesn't have to mean costly shutdowns. Cold weather liming for construction sites leverages the exothermic reaction of lime-based products to dry, modify, and stabilize soils even in freezing conditions. This comprehensive guide covers the science...
Tariffs are reshaping the construction landscape. From cement and steel to aluminum and other essential materials, shifting trade policies are creating ripple effects across the industry. Even when prices hold steady, the uncertainty around future costs and sourcing...
A Foundation in Crisis America’s roadways are the backbone of its economy and daily life, yet they continue to show signs of chronic underinvestment. According to the American Society of Civil Engineers’ 2025 Infrastructure Report Card, the nation’s infrastructure...
When building infrastructure on weak in-situ soils, a well-designed foundation is essential to ensure long-term resilience. Whether you're constructing roads, embankments, or industrial platforms, ensuring subgrade stability is critical—not just for performance, but...
Lime stabilization turns challenging soils into durable foundations suitable for the construction industry. When lime-based reagents interact with soil, a chemical process alters its characteristics - binding clay particles, reducing plasticity & shrink-swell...
Creating a stable foundation is essential for any construction project, yet many construction sites face challenges with unsuitable soil conditions. Lime soil stabilization offers a proven, cost-effective solution for transforming problematic soils into reliable...
Lime kiln dust, often referred to as LKD, can be a valuable option for enhancing soil strength and stability, particularly in medium plasticity index (PI) soils. By incorporating Calciment® LKD into your soil stabilization strategy, you can effectively address issues...
What is Soil Compaction? Soil compaction is the practice of applying mechanical compactive effort to densify a soil by reducing the void space between soil particles. Compaction occurs when particles are pressed together to reduce the space between them. Highly...
What is the Objective of Soil Compaction? Soil compaction is used to densify a soil by reducing the void space, or the amount of air, between soil particles. In other words, soil compaction occurs when soil particles are pressed together to reduce the space between...
Hydrated lime, sometimes referred to as “slaked lime” or more likely just “hydrate”, is a versatile chemical with many uses across numerous industries and applications. Technically, hydrated lime is calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH)2, a derivative of quicklime – another...
