Controlled 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™ 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, 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.
