Shallow Soil Cement / Stabilization The Shallow Soil Cement Solution for Soil Improvement
Benefits of Using Shallow Soil Cement / Stabilization
Shallow Soil Cement stabilization refers to shallow applications of soil cement like levee roads, bike paths, river revetments, and pond linings. Wastewater treatment plant sludge ponds are a common soil cement-lined feature in California and Nevada.
Soil Cement revetments along rivers and flood channels mitigate erosion that is known to destroy infrastructure and land resources, thus preventing expensive losses.
Soil Cement stabilization saves time and money by providing an allweather working surface on construction sites that become unworkable due to wet conditions.
Documents and Resources In addition to the substantial experience, our professional staff brings, CNCA maintains a valuable library of technical resources and case studies. All of these resources are available 24/7/365 and all, of course, free and easy to access.
ABOVE – Used in multiple applications
as a subbase, soil cement conserves both energy and materials by allowing for thinner sections versus granular base and by use of in-place (native) soil.
Lake Cahuilla in La Quinta, CA was lined with soil cement after the unlined lake soaked into the ground quickly. Road reclaimers or pugmills are the most common equipment used for mixing.
Please do not hesitate to contact our experienced geotechnical engineers and review our resource library at cncement.org for more information.

Shallow Soil Cement is also a great solution for dirt and gravel roads. It provides an all-weather material that better resists water erosion and rutting. Logging roads, fire trails and remote driveways can be significantly improved without having to pay for a full pavement.
