Your challenges
Port and airport infrastructures are frequently built upon alluvial plains and coastlines, and therefore can often be underlain by compressible soils which are saturated. Due to the nature of the schemes i.e. comprising large surface areas, the land for ports and airports is often reclaimed from the sea using hydraulic or terrestrial backfill. These materials frequently have a need for cost-effective ground treatment techniques to treat such sites.
Our solutions
Ground improvement solutions can accelerate the consolidation of the weak, saturated soils therefore reducing the residual settlement occurring during operation of the infrastructures. The intensive improvement of the fill / reclaimed materials also results in an enhanced bearing capacity.
Port and airport schemes are typically sizeable thus requiring substantial resources and careful management of the project to execute the scheme within a relatively short period of time, all of which can be readily provided by Menard.
