Simple Strategy In Chemical Soil Stabilization

By Janine Hughes


In the industry of agriculture together with construction, poor grounds are risky and hence, necessitate treatment before the operations begin. This is in case the soils contain some chemical acids and alkalis that accelerate reaction. This condition may then be fixed by the application of retarders and neutralizers. There is a simple strategy that you should follow when you do chemical soil stabilization.

The first thing that you do before you opt for any method is to establish the cause of the instability as well as the application desired. If you wish to undertake agricultural activities, there are some reactions that will not in any way affect the growth and development of plants. Some will tend to affect the process of bond development between cement in foundations.

After the cause has been established, the next step is to devise the possible solution. If the instability is caused by acidic reactions, then apply alkalis and bases that tend to neutralize the acids. However, if this is caused by the action of alkalis and bases, consider applying acids that would neutralize them. Moreover, apply the reaction retarders to halt the reaction. However, this may be short-lived and you ought to consider periodic replacements.

The treatment may not have been effective when it was carried out. Then, you need to ascertain whether or not there are some chemicals that still may be causing some reactions. Samples of the same should be collected from the field and tested in a laboratory. If the presence of these chemicals is detected, the previous process should be repeated to ensure that all of them are deactivated.

If the experiment has it that, the instability is at a manageable level, the next thing you do is to minimize the instance of this condition happening in days to come. Probably, the presence of such chemicals may be as a result of excessive use of farm chemicals or, perhaps the disposal of industrial waste. Therefore, launch a suitable program to eliminate such instances.

After this, you can commence you desired project. You could construct the building you wanted, however ensure that the cements used will not trigger any reaction. In case you opted for agricultural activities, you should avoid use of harmful chemicals that may cause the instability. Nevertheless, you should opt for the organic methods of pest control.

It is not guaranteed that you will begin the project almost immediately, you may have to wait. This will give time for the organic processes to stabilize. Depending on the kind of treatment you implement, the number of days that you will have to wait may vary. If you disregard this, you will interfere with the treatment and you could have to repeat it.

You should not presume you know the exact time when the process will be complete for you to start your projects. Suitably, follow the instructions given in the handbook that was delivered together with the treatment agents. Also, seek advice from an expert.

As from the highlighted details, it is apparent that soil instability can be corrected with suitable application of chemical treatment agents. Then, establish the cause of the instability just before you begin the process. After, the application you ought to give it time for the treatment to be effective.
