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.

The support systems required for energy schemes such as oil, gas, nuclear, windfarm projects are often complex. The most cost-effective foundation solutions often require a combination of ground improvement techniques.

Menard can provide a range of solutions to meet the varied geotechnical conditions often encountered within the rail & road sector, in order to ensure its long-term reliability.

Port and airport infrastructures are frequently built upon alluvial plains and coastlines. Sites often consist of compressible soils which are saturated, and require ground treatment to accelerate consolidation.
