  1. 4 Soil Treatment Techniques For Expansive Soil Moisture Control Techniques such as proper grading and drainage systems can help control water infiltration and reduce the soil’s exposure to moisture fluctuations. Polymer Stabilization The expansive soil can have polymer stabilizers added to it to change its characteristics and lessen its tendency to swell. Mechanical Stabilization To increase the strength of the soil and lessen the likelihood of volume changes, techniques like soil mixing, and the application of geosynthetic materials can be used. Foundation Design Flexible foundation systems can accommodate the potential movement of the expansive soil without causing damage to the structure. www.envirotacinc.com | (706) 600-5759
