Geotextile encased columns are columns of granular material are confined within high-strength geotextile fabric to increase bearing capacity and provide vertical support in extremely soft soils.
Earthquake Drains
coralielaval2025-12-11T14:55:22+01:00Earthquake (EQ) drains are used to mitigate/limit the effects of seismically-induced liquefaction by allowing for the rapid dissipation of excess porewater pressures generated by seismic events.
Rapid Impact Compaction (RIC)
admin75082025-12-11T16:46:23+01:00Rapid Impact Compaction is a ground improvement technique that densifies the soil by pounding it at high frequency with a medium sized pounder.
Dynamic Replacement
admin75082025-12-11T15:12:45+01:00Dynamic replacement is a ground improvement technique that reinforces fine grained soils with a network of dynamically pounded pillars.
Vibrocompaction
admin75082025-12-11T16:47:47+01:00Vibrocompaction is a ground improvement technique that densifies the soil by shaking it with a vibro probe.
Bi-Modulus Columns (BMC)®
admin75082025-12-11T15:07:16+01:00Bi-modulus columns is a ground improvement technique that reinforces the soil by a combination of CMC and stone columns.
Soil Mixing
admin75082025-12-11T15:08:52+01:00Soil Mixing is a ground improvement technique that reinforces the soil by mixing in situ a network of grout and soil columns.
Dynamic Compaction
admin75082025-12-11T15:11:37+01:00Dynamic 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.
