At Sportfields Ltd, we utilise in-situ soil stabilisation as a core technique across our construction and civil engineering projects. This approach provides a fast, efficient, and highly cost-effective alternative to the traditional process of excavating unsuitable soils and importing replacement materials. By modifying existing ground conditions with carefully selected binders (typically lime and cement) we create strong, durable foundations ideal for pavements, sports facilities, and ground slabs.

​

Most cohesive and granular soils can be successfully stabilised, including natural sub-soils, made ground, and even certain recycled materials. This method removes the need to remove soft, unstable, or moisture-sensitive soils such as wet sands, gravels, or clay. Instead, the on-site material is treated to improve strength, reduce moisture content, and meet the required specifications for structural fill, capping, and sub-base layers.

​

By maximising the use of material already present on site, soil stabilisation significantly reduces the need for imported stone and minimises waste export, delivering both environmental and financial benefits for our clients.
