Lime plays a crucial role in soil stabilization. This chemical process involves the interaction between clay minerals present in the soil and calcium, which reduces plasticity and increases resistance thanks to pozzolanic reactions. Stabilizing soil with lime allows to take advantage of the existing soil at the construction site, thus reducing the need to haul materials from local banks. It is a sustainable alternative by optimizing local resources. When stabilizing a soil with calcium oxide (lime) more efficient and profitable projects are achieved. Since taking advantage of local resources costs are reduced, which translates into a smarter investment for your infrastructure project: whether it is streets, roads, industrial platforms, housing platforms, etc. 

It is used to stabilize dirt roads, subbases, and bases in different infrastructure works such as:

• Highways, subdivisions, and main and secondary roads. 

• Construction of platforms, roads, and parking lots in industrial and housing developments. 

• Canals, water pots, and bring out crop lanes. 

• Railroad track. 

• Airport service roads. 

• Platforms and service roads in ports.

• It dries soil saturated with moisture, allowing it to be workable. 

• It chemically stabilizes clays, converting them into stable compounds and permanently changing their mechanical properties. 

• Increases load capacity. 

• Solve plasticity problems. 

• Cost-benefit relationship: it reduces costs and construction delays; it being ecological, makes it unnecessary to transport other bench materials. 

• Impermeability: stabilized soil has low permeability property.
