Roads, runways and developments begin long before the asphalt is paved. They start with the foundation beneath it—the soil. For nearly 50 years, our team at RJ Daigle & Sons has been shaping Louisiana’s infrastructure from the ground up, and our soil stabilization services show exactly what sets us apart.
From Wax Road to the New Orleans Airport, from commercial sites like Copart to major state highways, we’ve built a reputation for delivering stabilization work that’s consistent, precise and built to last. Every project combines decades of experience, certified quality control and advanced technology, all backed by the same hard-working, family-driven approach that defines who we are.
Soil stabilization gives strength and longevity to the surfaces people depend on every day. In Louisiana, where soft soils and unpredictable weather are common, stabilization is crucial.
We use specialized equipment and proven techniques to strengthen weak subgrades and prepare them to handle heavy traffic, changing conditions and time.
Whether we’re improving load-bearing capacity for a new roadway or creating a stable platform for a commercial development, our focus is always the same: making the ground solid, dependable and ready for what’s next.
Every soil stabilization project has its own challenges and objectives. Each one demands careful planning and attention to detail. The following projects show how our process and expertise come together to deliver lasting results.
Wax Road in Central, Louisiana, required a focused approach. The area’s soft soils needed detailed preparation to support consistent residential and commuter traffic.
We worked closely with engineers to strengthen the subgrade, balancing moisture content and applying the right materials in the right proportions. By stabilizing the soil to exact specifications, we extended the life of the roadway and reduced the chance of settlement or cracking.
When we were called to perform soil stabilization at the New Orleans Airport, precision mattered at every step. Every section of stabilized ground must meet strict FAA requirements to ensure the safety of aircraft, passengers and personnel.
Our certified quality control team and on-site testing provided the accuracy needed. Using data from our mobile lab, we verified that each layer of soil met the strength and density required before continuing. Working under these tight deadlines in an active airport environment called for efficiency and coordination.
Large commercial sites often require strong and consistent foundations. For the Copart project, where heavy vehicle storage and equipment movement are part of daily operations, the soil had to meet high standards for durability and stability.
Our soil stabilization team prepared the site to handle heavy use while maintaining long-term performance. The mobile lab allowed us to make real-time adjustments to moisture, lime or cement content and verify results on-site without delay.
Highway work represents our commitment to building a stronger Louisiana. For the Highway 68 project, we reinforced the foundation of a key roadway that connects communities and supports local travel and commerce.
Consistency, safety and coordination guided every step. Our crews conducted testing throughout the process to ensure each section met strength and compaction standards. Projects like this one show why clients across the state, from DOTD to municipalities to private developers, continue to trust our work.
Every soil stabilization project we complete is supported by a team of Certified Quality Control Technicians who maintain the highest standards. Their experience ensures that every test, measurement and report meets both state and industry requirements.
Quality control drives every decision we make. Our technicians verify that stabilized materials meet specific density, strength and moisture targets. From lab testing to field validation, their work guarantees that each project meets our performance expectations.
Our mobile lab adds another level of accuracy. Fully equipped and ready to travel to any site, it allows immediate testing and analysis. This capability reduces downtime, improves efficiency and helps us make adjustments as conditions change.
Work that happens beneath the surface often goes unnoticed, but its impact lasts for years. Strong stabilization helps roads, facilities and developments stay reliable long after construction is complete.
We take pride in contributing to Louisiana’s growth. From highways and subdivisions to industrial and commercial sites, we carry forward a legacy built on quality and accountability.
Our goal is simple. Show up, do the job right and deliver results that reflect the pride we take in our work.
Our soil stabilization projects reflect our commitment to precision, quality and reliability. With certified technicians, mobile lab capabilities and nearly five decades of experience, we deliver results that stand the test of time.
We take pride in being a trusted partner in building Louisiana’s future, one foundation at a time.
