ESOL is pleased to announce it has successfully served over 500 infrastructure projects in six states across the US. These projects consist of both public and private infrastructure developments including residential subdivisions, streets, highways, commercial sites, school sites, waste water treatment plants, industrial plants and facilities, and others.

This bulletin titled, “Alternative Tools for Improved Design and Control of Soil Compaction in Construction”, was posted on the TEN in May of 2014.

This addition provides stabilized lab reference curves corrected according to standard dry-unit weight relations, specific to the soil properties which is the only variable of the lab standard. This energy-soil specific correction provides the lab lines-of-optimums which are generally close and parallel with the field lines-of-optimums. This addition provides stabilized reference standards and unprecedented control when using lab reference curves. Use of these stabilized curves alone for construction control will not provide total solution to the process control problems plaguing the industry, but use of these curves will provide control for resulting compaction states.

TCEQ provides for use of the moisture-density relationships produced by the compaction equipment used in construction for compaction control and permeability requirements of clay liners and covers for waste containment facilities and remediation sites.
