GROUND IMPROVEMENT
Advanced ground improvement solutions to strengthen weak soils, increase bearing capacity, and prevent future settlement.
WHAT IS GROUND IMPROVEMENT?
Ground improvement encompasses techniques to enhance the engineering properties of soil beneath or around structures. This includes increasing bearing capacity, reducing compressibility, and controlling ground movement — particularly important on clay soils prone to shrink-swell behaviour.
HOW IT WORKS
Geopolymer resin is injected into weak or compressible soils through small-diameter holes. The resin permeates soil voids, binds particles together, and creates a strengthened soil mass with significantly improved bearing capacity. This targeted approach treats only the zones that need improvement, minimising cost and disruption.
KEY BENEFITS
OUR PROCESS
Ground Investigation
Soil testing and analysis to characterise ground conditions and design the improvement scheme.
Design
Engineering design specifying injection locations, depths, and volumes for optimal improvement.
Injection
Geopolymer resin injected at designed locations to permeate and strengthen weak soil zones.
Monitoring
Ground response monitored in real-time to ensure target improvement levels are achieved.
Testing
Post-treatment testing confirms improved soil properties meet design requirements.
Certification
Engineering certification of ground improvement for structural and insurance purposes.
