Dynamic compaction is a ground improvement technique that densifies the soil by repeatly pounding it with a high energy pounder.
Stone Columns / Aggregate Piers
admin75082025-12-11T14:58:29+01:00Stone columns is a ground improvement technique that reinforces the soil with a network of stone compacted columns.
Controlled Modulus Columns (CMC)®Rigid Inclusions
admin75082026-04-06T19:07:16+02:00Controlled Modulus Columns (CMC)® rigid inclusions, often referred to simply as rigid inclusions, are a reliable ground improvement solution used to reinforce weak soils, increase bearing capacity, and reduce settlement for a wide range of structures. Menard designs and installs rigid inclusion systems tailored to each site, delivering strong, consistent foundation performance across challenging soil conditions.
Menard Vacuum™ Consolidation
admin75082025-12-11T16:49:06+01:00Menard 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
admin75082025-12-09T18:03:21+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.
