They're carrying out soil stabilization, a particular number for cement bags will be used for a particular kilometers. The soil will be mixed together with the cement using grader machine, then exposed to the sun to dye and compacted with a compactor machine.

This is called soil-cement stabilization, cement is being added to the soil to improve its bearing capacity. This is the manual method, nowadays cement spreaders are used.

That particular location/jurisdiction soil has what is called water floating {waters don't dry whenever rain falls, and in the process, it might turn to slum} So therefore, theh perform soil stabilisation through the process, remove its soil to like 4-6ft before refilling 👇👇

It is a soil stabilisation method used to improve the mechanical properties of weak soil such as the load bearing capacity, and compressive strength. It is mostly used in subgrade layer of a roadway. “You see that poor soil along LBS - Eleko, this method is used on that roadway”

That's callled stabilisation. It increases the load bearing capacity of the base course.

No wonder the cement price is not going to come down , a lot of roads construction going on now and with the introduction of concrete construction roads I don’t think we are going to have cement cheap anytime soon. But this a good job ,I think that section of road is water area👁️

This is called soil/cement, it just the stabilization of earth or sand, filling matterial (literite or stonebase) to increase the streanght or bearing capacity , it varies depending on the desired strenght you want. We av 5, 6 ,10 or even 20 percent cement to soil ratio.

That is called Cement-Soil stabilization. Usually done in areas where the subgrade is unstable.

Soil cement stabilization to enhance the strength of the soil for road construction.

I've seen something similar being done abroad before. I guess it makes the base soil stronger even without full casting and vehicles can pass easily.

This is Nigeria 🇳🇬 No contractor isn't going to mix the cement with the sand. If you observe very well, they have levelled the sand already. They just want to proper flooring. This is a second choice to layering of iron rods and using of charcoal, granite and gravel construction
