Prime design-build firms and teams need assurance of stable subgrades, effective construction of design requirements, production in fill construction, warranty protection, and minimal risk. Only the infrastructure fills jeopardize these needs. ESOL resolves the typical problems with foundation fills and ground risk. ESOL fulfills these needs and gives these prime parties unprecedented control, with the following benefits:

• Secure ability to design foundations and pavements with known subgrade strength & stability properties (strength & stability is unknown today)
• Achievement of fill design requirements in construction (not achieved today)
• Prevention of typical deficiencies of fill construction
• Secure and unparalleled ability to establish and promote for competitive separation, company standards assuring:
• Achievement of design requirements in construction
• Stable foundations for all infrastructure projects
• Protection against the greatest problem in infrastructure today (strength loss, settlements and shrink-swell problems from moisture change)
• Design standards of practice (both industry compaction standards and design strength requirements) achieved in construction of foundation fills with direct data verification
• Agency compaction standards achieved in construction where/as advised
• Maximal production in fill construction
• Known controls before construction
• Minimized or eliminated moisture conditioning needs
• Expanded moisture working range
• Expanded soil working range
• Match compactors with borrow sources
• Effective process controls in fill construction without assumptions or trial & error exercises
• No more inadvertent engineering compromise forced in fill construction
• Real-time control
• Stable infrastructure foundations and pavements
• stable subgrade strength during wetting and saturation
• no more saturation settlements
• controlled and minimized shrink-swell conditions
• Cost/schedule/performance risk removed from area of highest construction risk
• Minimized or eliminated maintenance & repair costs
• Minimal warranty risks/costs - for engineering, construction, repair and maintenance
• Protection of earth movement exclusions in constructor CGL policies
• Greatly extended service life
• As-built construction records with direct data verification of subgrade fill elements, and demonstration of design requirements and best possible construction control
