Soil Stabilization/Conditioning

At Kelchner, we leverage state-of-the-art equipment and cutting-edge techniques to set the gold standard in soil stabilization, ensuring the creation of superior subgrades essential for the construction of streets, parking lots, and under-slab foundations. Our advanced stabilization process transforms the base into a water-repellent, stabilized foundation, presenting a multitude of benefits for developers, owners, and contractors alike. This foundation not only enhances the structural integrity of the construction but also contributes significantly to the longevity and durability of the project.

First Flight

Utilizing the latest and most efficient equipment available, Kelchner is committed to delivering unparalleled quality, consistency, and productivity in every project. Our technology-driven approach enables us to offer:

  • Significant Reduction in Site Construction Costs: By excluding the need for Geogrids, we manage to lower the financial burden associated with site preparation.
  • Decrease in Trucking Volume by Up to 40%: This not only markedly improves safety conditions but also mitigates the negative impacts on traffic, Road Use Maintenance Agreements (RUMA), and our overall carbon footprint.
  • Reduction in Long-term Maintenance: Our methods ensure a decrease in the need for future repairs and upkeep, translating into cost savings over the life of the project.
  • Enhanced Reclamation of Crushed Aggregate Base: This process allows for a greater recovery of materials, further reducing the need for additional truck trips and contributing to environmental sustainability.
  • Predictable Project Completion: Kelchner’s capability to operate under adverse weather conditions, including rain and mud, ensures that projects stay on schedule, reducing delays and unpredictability.
  • Speed of Delivery: Our efficient processes and equipment mean faster project turnaround times, enabling quicker use of the developed space.
  • Improved Sub-base with Increased Durability: Our advanced stabilization techniques improve even questionable sub-grades, resulting in a better foundation that supports structures reliably over time.
Cement Stabilization

With the use of Portland Cement, we can improve the workability of subgrade soils while increasing strength for building construction. It also extends the life of pavement and structures support systems.

KD/Quicklime

Whether you go with Cement or Lime-based products, both add mixtures are used to modify the soils needed to create a good compacted material for pavement and structural subgrades.

By choosing Kelchner for soil stabilization needs, clients benefit from an optimized construction process that not only ensures a robust and durable foundation but also emphasizes safety, environmental responsibility, and cost-effectiveness. Our commitment to employing the best in technology and methods positions Kelchner as a leader in delivering projects that exceed expectations, setting a new benchmark in the construction industry.
