The technique of Soil Stabilisation centres on the treatment of marginal or unsuitable materials to render them suitable for further use as engineering materials. The application of additives such as Quick Lime, PFA, GGBS, and Ordinary Portland Cement can improve the qualities of the material to achieve specifications suitable for use as bulk fill, capping and sub-base. This use of materials already on site reduces the import of aggregate, the export of unsuitable materials and reduces the time required to complete the earthworks. Specialist equipment is needed to spread and incorporate the binder.

Continental offers two types of stabilisation drum for mounting behind todays high performance tractor units. Namely the fixed chamber MGM and the unique variable chamber GM. With the GM offering similar performance benefits to self propelled units albeit at a far lower capital cost with greater unit adaptability. With an ever increasing acceptance of Soil Stabilisation these units are now forming the back bone to many ground improvement fleets.

The adaptability of the tractor mounted drum means that within minutes the power unit can be detached from the mixer and coupled up to alternate machinery, anything from a dump trailer to a laser trimmer - Importantly ensuring that utilisation is up and unit costs are down without sacrifising performance.
