| Soil stabilisation - Guidelines for best practice | ||||
| Provides details of the activities, standards and records needed for a successful soil stabilisation project. It outlines the responsibilities of the project designer, manager, stabilisation contractor and testing laboratory, and provides a breakdown of the process from ground investigation trials and determination of design properties to site works, control and testing. Highlighted within the guidance are hte necessary record procedures and advice comments based upon real life experience of soil stabilisation projects. | ||||
