They can be tailored to meet a wide variety of bearing capacity and settlement requirements and provide an economical and sustainable alternative to traditional piling and deep foundations. Vibro stone columns are ideal + In granular soils, mixed fills, and cohesive soils, with bearing pressures of between 100- 200kN/m2 typically achievable + To construct columns to depths of up to 12 metres (depending upon the loading and ground conditions) + To improve settlement by a factor of 1.5 to 3 on most projects + To accelerate the dissipation of excess pore water generated by loading pressures As an alternative to more expensive piling systems - due to speed of installation and cheaper materials + Fora vast array of sectors and applications, including housing, road, rail, ports, commercial, retail, industrial, education, medical, wind farms, utilities, leisure and military projects Vibro concrete columns Vibro concrete columns are an effective ground improvement technique developed to provide integrity through weak organic soils or to provide greater settlement control than can be achieved with vibro stone columns Vibro concrete columns are idea! + On contaminated piling sites where spoil removal is to be avoided, i.e. for regeneration of brownfield sites + Where peat and organic soils preclude conventional vibro techniques + Where founding at a high level is required to avoid piling into an aquifer + Where short construction programmes dictate fast-track installation & high production levels For loads/settlement control with a load transfer platform This site uses cookies.

Benefits: + Vibro compaction techniques are well established and in suitable soil types can be used for construction of tank farms, ports and marine structures + Vibro compaction is extremely effective for sand compaction, and to date, we have utilised the technique in the Middle East, North America and the Mediterranean + Vibro compaction can provide fast, in-situ densification of loose sands to depths of up to 30 metres and is one of the most economical and sustainable ground improvement methods available + Vibro compaction significantly reduces the threat of liquefaction in the event of seismic shocks PENCOL™ Rigid Inclu: Abrand new ground improvement technique that offers an economical alternative to piling that, Unlike other systems, can be used in virtually any ground conditions, Because it is a ground improvement method it produces little or no spoil and what's more, it's, really fast. Up to 2,500 metres per week can be achieved + Suitable applications include: + Road and railway embankments + Retail/industrial units + Housing + Tanks + Retaining walls + Slopes, This site uses cookies.
