When desirable building sites are situated on weak or marginal soils and
fills, the best solution is often a ground improvement program composed of
vibro stone columns, vibro concrete columns, or vibrocompaction. Subsurface
Constructors has the expertise to design and construct a cost-competitive
ground improvement plan that greatly improves the bearing capacity and
settlement performance of the site, in addition to helping mitigate seismic
liquefaction. Our engineers design programs that closely fit project
requirements and ensure that the appropriate remedy is chosen for each
project.
Ground Improvement Capabilities:
- Vibro Stone Columns
- Vibro Concrete Columns
- Vibrocompaction
- Dynamic Compaction
- Rapid Impact Compaction
Subsurface boasts the only Stratacaster vibro rigs in the United States. These
small and mobile rigs allow for vibro stone columns to be installed via a
top or bottom feed method using either an air or water flush. This specialty
rig is suited to all types of sites and creates a significant performance
advantage over free hanging vibroflots on speed, accuracy and pull down. In
addition, the Stratacaster has a unique instrumentation and recording system
that monitors depth and pressure, providing a means for continuous quality
control.
Vibro Stone Columns and Vibrocompaction offer a low cost alternative to:
- Aggregate Piers
- Engineered Fill
- Site Pre-loading
- Drilled Shafts, Driven Pile and Augercast Piles
Advantages of Vibro Ground Improvement Methods Include:
- Minimal to no spoils
- Applicable to any soil type
- Quick Installation
- In-house engineering and design
- Economic alternative to deep foundations
- Significantly increases bearing capacity
