Rapid Impact Compaction is a ground improvement technique that densifies the soil by pounding it at high frequency with a medium sized pounder.
Dynamic Replacement
admin75082022-11-23T19:01:23+01:00Dynamic replacement is a ground improvement technique that reinforces fine grained soils with a network of dynamically pounded pillars.
Vibrocompaction
admin75082022-11-28T04:05:17+01:00Vibrocompaction is a ground improvement technique that densifies the soil by shaking it with a vibro probe.
Bi-Modulus Columns (BMC)®
admin75082022-11-29T14:13:13+01:00Bi-modulus columns is a ground improvement technique that reinforces the soil by a combination of CMC and stone columns.
Soil Mixing
admin75082022-10-25T03:54:03+02:00Soil Mixing is a ground improvement technique that reinforces the soil by mixing in situ a network of grout and soil columns.
Dynamic Compaction
admin75082022-10-25T03:46:31+02:00Dynamic compaction is a ground improvement technique that densifies the soil by repeatly pounding it with a high energy pounder.
Stone Columns / Aggregate Piers
admin75082023-08-24T00:07:44+02:00Stone columns is a ground improvement technique that reinforces the soil with a network of stone compacted columns.
Controlled Modulus Columns (CMC)®
admin75082024-03-19T19:34:03+01:00Controlled Modulus Columns (CMC)® rigid inclusions are vertical, grouted elements that typically range in diameter from approximately 12 inches to 18 inches. CMCs were developed by Menard’s French affiliate, Menard Soltraitement, in 1994 and were patented in the US in 1999.
Menard Vacuum™ Consolidation
admin75082022-10-25T02:17:46+02:00Menard Vacuum™ is used to accelerate consolidation of cohesive, highly compressible soils. The process consists in creating a negative pressure under an airtight membrane laid over the soil, which generates atmospheric pressure on the soil, equivalent to the pressure exerted by a 4 metre embankment.
Wick Drains
admin75082024-03-19T19:00:22+01:00Wick drains, also known as pre-fabricated vertical drains, are a cost-effective solution for accelerating the consolidation of fine-grained soils to expedite construction and limit long-term settlement.
