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 (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 is a ground improvement technique that densifies the soil by pounding it at high frequency with a medium sized pounder.

Dynamic replacement is a ground improvement technique that reinforces fine grained soils with a network of dynamically pounded pillars.

Vibrocompaction is a ground improvement technique that densifies the soil by shaking it with a vibro probe.

Bi-modulus columns is a ground improvement technique that reinforces the soil by a combination of CMC and stone columns.

Soil Mixing is a ground improvement technique that reinforces the soil by mixing in situ a network of grout and soil columns.

Dynamic compaction is a ground improvement technique that densifies the soil by repeatly pounding it with a high energy pounder.

Stone columns is a ground improvement technique that reinforces the soil with a network of stone compacted columns.

Controlled Modulus Columns (CMC)® 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.
