Abstract: The Operations personnel at Washington Natural Gas Company feel they have the answer to a major problem facing any operator of an underground distribution system be it gas, water, telephone or electricity. The problem is unsuitable excavated soil. The answer is treatment of unsuitable excavated material, on the job site, by the use of chemical soil stabilization so the soil can be effectively used for backfill, To better understand the lotal problem and the potential cost benefit of the soil stabilizer, it is necessary to look at the current practices of most companies. Crews who perform maintenance and construction work in the field are usually required to excavate a hole and, when the work is completed, restore the surface to its original condition. Whether or not the excavated material can be reused as backfill depends upon the type of soil, its moisture content and/or the prevaihng weather conditions. These factors determine if the soil can be recompacted to match the original sub-grade conditions.
