Lime stabilization, also known as KC piling, is a technique used to increase the load-bearing capacity of soil consisting of clay, quick clay, or other soil conditions with high humus and peat content. Seabrokers Fundamentering is proud to be the only fully Norwegian provider of KC piling in the Norwegian market.

The method is carried out using specialized equipment that mechanically blends a dry mixture traditionally consisting of burnt lime and cement with the clay. The highly reactive lime, in conjunction with cement and clay, forms piles that are installed in the ground in a pattern typically consisting of rows or a grid.

Advantages of lime stabilization:

  • Increased load-bearing capacity and stability in the area
  • Can be used as a vibration-reducing measure, often in relation to railways
  • Efficient method, resulting in cost savings
  • Quick curing time
  • Easy to ensure quality during execution
  • Enables the use of previously unsuitable building land due to clay/quick clay
  • Lower carbon footprint compared to many alternatives
  • Minimal noise during execution

At Seabrokers Fundamentering, we have extensive expertise in lime stabilization and are ready to assist you throughout the process. We ensure a solid foundation to stand on!
