In Situ Stabilization Overview

In situ stabilization (ISS), is a proven approach for confining source zone contamination by converting contaminants into their least soluble, mobile, and toxic forms. The process also isolates impacted material within a stabilized monolith matrix, reducing exposure pathways and helping protect surrounding soils and groundwater.

Why It Matters

When subsurface contamination threatens a property’s future use, ISS can address risk quickly by limiting migration and exposure. Stabilized materials can also improve subsurface strength, making treated areas strong candidates for redevelopment and serving as a reliable subbase for commercial or industrial construction.
