| Summary: | Contaminated soils are often the blight of soil industrial activities in highly developed
and industrialized countries. Contaminated soils have been subject of concern in most developed
countries that are experiencing scarcity of uncontaminated soil for development such Malaysia. The
objective of the study is to investigate the performance of the available technique for soil
remediation contaminated with lead (Pb) through Stabilization/Solidification (S/S) technique. In
this study, cockle shell powders at different percentages (2.5%, 5% and 7.5%) were added as a
partial replacement of cement. Toxicity Leaching Characteristics Procedure (TCLP) was conducted
to determine the effectiveness of the S/S technique to treat the contaminated soil. The results
obtained show that 99% reduction Pb after the contaminated clay soil was treated with S/S
technique. The combination of cement and cockle shell powders is very effective to use for
remediation of lead contaminated soil and reduced the amount of cement for sustainability
