Limestone Stabilization Questions
Limestone Stabilization Questions
(OP)
I recently moved to a new area where lime stabilized sites are very common this time of year. This practice is VERY new to me. I have attended a conference on the practice, and have a general understanding of the procedure, but have yet to witness it firsthand. However, I do have a couple of questions for any of you that are experienced with this:
After a lift is "limed", how long should you wait before compacting that lift?
When can another lift be placed?
Thank you for any input.

My experience is with dry lime. In that case compaction should begin imeadiately and the next lift can be placed within an hour or so.
