Learn how these ground improvement techniques are applied by viewing their installation process in action.

Stone Columns / Aggregate Piers

Discover how vibro stone columns improve weak soils by increasing load-bearing capacity and reducing settlement. This 3D animation demonstrates the installation process, ideal for projects requiring soil stabilization and ground improvement for foundations.

Dynamic Compaction

Learn about dynamic compaction, a cost-effective solution for densifying loose soils. This video illustrates how dynamic compaction improves soil bearing capacity for parking lots, embankments, and commercial developments.

Rapid Impact Compaction

Watch how rapid impact compaction quickly stabilizes granular soils for infrastructure projects. Ideal for roadways, airport runways, and rail projects, this technique ensures fast and efficient ground improvement.

Soil Mixing

Discover how soil mixing improves weak or contaminated soils by blending them with cementitious materials to create a stronger, more uniform ground. This 3D animation illustrates the installation process, making soil mixing an ideal solution for industrial sites, environmental remediation, and foundations requiring enhanced stability.

Vertical (Wick) Drains

Understand the role of wick drains in accelerating soil consolidation. This animation explains how wick drains work in combination with preloading for highway embankments, industrial pads, and port facilities.

Controlled Modulus Column (CMC)® Rigid Inclusions

Learn how CMCs provide reliable ground improvement for a wide range of projects. This technique provides reliable ground improvement for a wide range of projects, including commercial buildings, transportation infrastructure, energy facilities, warehouses and data centers, offering superior load transfer and reduced settlement in challenging soil conditions.

 Bi-Modulus Columns (BMC)®

Discover how bi-modulus columns combine a rigid inclusion with a compacted granular column to optimize load transfer and reduce settlement. This innovative ground improvement technique is ideal for commercial buildings, transportation infrastructure, industrial facilities, and energy projects, offering enhanced performance in variable soil conditions.

Compaction Grouting

See how compaction grouting strengthens loose or weak soils by injecting a low-mobility grout under pressure to densify and stabilize the ground. This technique is widely used for foundation support, sinkhole remediation, and infrastructure projects, providing improved bearing capacity and reduced settlement in challenging soil conditions.
