Problem The entrance and exit slabs of a landfill weigh station in Broome County, New York, settled significantly enough to cause unsafe traffic conditions. County engineers decided on URETEK’s industry-renowned soil stabilization processes to stabilize and lift the slabs. An added challenge for the project was that the weigh station needed to remain opera - tional during the repairs. Analysis The soil conditions beneath the four slabs of interest (entrance approach/departure approach/exit approach/departure slabs) were unknown, so the first task for crew members was to perform Dynamic Cone Penetrometer (DCP) testing of the area. DCP testing showed a layer of weak soil under each of the four slabs at a depth of about four feet. This result indicated the need for soil stabilizatio
