Project Recap: Mt. Carmel Stabilization Group at Blue Oval SK, Glendale, Kentucky
Mt. Carmel Stabilization Group, Inc. was selected by Barton Malow as the soil stabilization contractor for the Blue Oval SK facility in Glendale, Kentucky. This significant project began for our crews on June 14, 2022, and our team was last on-site on February 8, 2024. Our contribution to this state-of-the-art facility involved the treatment of 2,630,254 square yards of soil using 203,126.28 tons of lime and cement products.
Execution and Efficiency
Throughout the project, our team maintained a high level of efficiency and precision. Over the span of nearly 20 months, we executed our soil stabilization services with a focus on minimizing disruptions to the overall construction schedule. Superintendent Chachi McBrayer oversaw our use of cutting-edge equipment such as more than a dozen custom built proprietary articulated spreader trucks and multiple Wirtgen stabilizers and led our experienced personnel in the treatment of vast areas of soil effectively, helping the project stay on track.
Materials and Methods
The use of 203,126.28 tons of stabilization material was integral to the success of this project. Cement stabilization was a key technique used, providing numerous benefits including increased soil strength, stability, and enhanced structural integrity of the subgrade. Our high-quality cement stabilization methods enhance the soil's load-bearing capacity, reduce permeability, and mitigate shrink-swell tendencies. This not only provided a solid foundation for the facility but also ensured long-term durability and stability.
