No matter the shape or nature of your site, we have a treatment approach that works.

We conduct rigorous sample gathering, lab-testing and ongoing monitoring to ensure 100% effectiveness. ![Affordable-8](https://www.soilsolutions.info/hs-fs/hubfs/Affordable-8.png?width=139&height=150&name=Affordable-8.png) ### Affordable We save on weight and cost by tailoring the recipe and reagent types to your site’s unique conditions, calculating and packing exact amounts. Our compact materials add the minimum to your soil to save on haul and landfill costs. ![Natural-8](https://www.soilsolutions.info/hs-fs/hubfs/Natural-8.png?width=212&height=150&name=Natural-8.png) ### Natural Recipe testing is conducted according to our own rigorous lab standards and TCLP, SPLP, MEP, and CalWet testing requirements, verifying through 3rd party labs. Our recipes have a 100% effective track record. ![Success Rate-8](https://www.soilsolutions.info/hs-fs/hubfs/Success%20Rate-8.png?width=149&height=150&name=Success%20Rate-8.png) ### Success Rate We work with your engineers and site personnel to ensure compliance, site safety, and containment. We have a spotless job safety record. Our treatment approach minimizes exposure and mitigates risk. ## Heavy Metal Fixation Our soil treatment formulations work by creating insoluble molecular bonds with contaminants through a process of hydroxyapatite crystal substitution. ## Heavy Metal Stabilization Blended with bulking or solidifying agents, they neutralize and contain the waste in a one-step application, rendering it non-hazardous and safe for removal and disposal.  Dosage and treatment approach are determined by site conditions. ![Asset 6-8](https://www.soilsolutions.info/hs-fs/hubfs/Asset%206-8.png?width=198&height=250&name=Asset%206-8.png) #### In-Situ Reagents are added directly into the soil and blended with excavators or specialized mixing equipment. This process ensures proper reagent contact and dispersion. ![Asset 7-8](https://www.soilsolutions.info/hs-fs/hubfs/Asset%207-8.png?width=199&height=250&name=Asset%207-8.png) #### Ex-Situ Soil is first excavated and stockpiled in a central, contained location. Reagents are then added and blended using either standard hydraulic equipment or specialized mixers. ![Asset 8-8](https://www.soilsolutions.info/hubfs/Asset%208-8.png) #### Wet or Dry Wet methods can be applied with a simple spray header and hose if working in a constricted area. Both wet and dry methods include above-par dust and material dispersion controls for maximum site safety. ## Low Waste Depending on scope and size of your site, treatment formulations will be precisely measured and shipped according to need: from 30lb bags to Super Sacks to Full Truckloads. Our wet treatment process is commonly less than 1% WWB (wet weight basis). Our molecular packing methods reduce waste volume by up to 5%.
