Vibro concrete columns
constructionTechniques that can be employed to improve
ground conditions range from jet grouting, dynamic compaction and
lime stabilisation, to vibro-compaction, vibro-replacement (stone
columns) and vibro-concrete columns to consolidation by pre-loading
and deep soil mixing.
Our geotechnics team have the specialist expertise needed to
undertake these processes and can provide clients with support and
advice.
Ground improvement techniques have developed greatly in recent
years and have wide application in areas of construction such as:
- tunnelling
Driven pre-cast piles
- deep excavations
- foundations
- earthworks
Key projects where we have covered ground improvement techniques
include:
- Boston Central Artery, USA
- Heathrow Express Cofferdam, UK
- Atlantic LNG, Trinidad
- Motorola, UK
- N4 Carrick-on-Shannon, Eire
