Techniques

The compaction of near surface granular or mixed soils, can be achieved by the introduction of high frequency energy impacts, using our Rapid Impact Compaction technique (RIC).

Dynamic Replacement is an adaptation of the Dynamic Compaction process for organic, saturated or weak cohesive soils.

Where sites are underlain by sands and gravels, Vibrocompaction uses our vibrating poker technology to improve the density of these soils commonly on reclaimed land areas.

Where CMCs are adopted on sites with near surface granular or mixed soils, the top of the CMC can be replaced with stone aggregate to produce a composite column, known as a Bi-Modulus Column (BMC).

Large sites underlain by loose materials can be effectively treated using our Dynamic Compaction, a ground improvement technique that densifies the soil to reduce ground void spaces improving the soil capacity.

Vibro Stone Columns are installed into soft to firm cohesive or loose to medium dense granular natural soils or made ground.

Where traditional ground improvement techniques may not be suitable, Controlled Modulus Column rigid inclusions (CMCs) provide a fast and economical ground improvement alternative to piling.

Vertical Drains, also known as Prefabricated Vertical Drains or Wick Drains, are made up of a plastic core surrounded by a geotextile that acts as a filter, provide an economical way to accelerate consolidation in saturated soils.
