On Firm Ground – Soil Stabilization Techniques For The Future
When was the last time you thought about the stability of the ground beneath your feet? For most of us, this is the kind of subject that rarely crosses our minds, unless we are involved in building our own home or office site. But in an environment where space for development is becoming increasingly limited, and where we are having to build on sites that might not be ideal for large-scale or heavy constructions or roads, how we stabilize the soil before building commercial architecture is ever more important. Here we take a look at some of the most innovative new approaches, including more ecofriendly alternatives, using biology as engineering, and how these can complement or replace more traditional options.
