Services
Vibro Stone Columns
Vibro Stone Columns enhance weak soils by creating reinforced sub-surface structures, increasing load-bearing capacity. Our top and bottom feed methods suit diverse ground conditions, reducing project time and costs. This technique minimises environmental impact through lower concrete use and CO2 emissions, offering a sustainable alternative to traditional piling.
Ground Improvement
Our ground improvement solutions address weak soils using vibro techniques to densify and reinforce treatment areas. This process ensures stable foundations for construction projects, reducing risks of subsidence and abnormal costs. We provide tailored assessments and designs to meet specific project requirements efficiently.
Geotechnical Design
In-house geotechnical engineers deliver technical and economic advice for ground improvement projects. We analyse site investigations to recommend optimal solutions, converting traditional piling schemes to vibro methods where beneficial. This ensures cost-effective, sustainable outcomes aligned with client objectives.
Site Engineering
We provide precise setting out and surveying for construction sites across the UK. Our site engineering ensures accurate implementation of vibro stone column designs, maintaining project timelines and structural integrity through advanced technical support and equipment.
Working Platform Testing
Our working platform testing ensures compliance with NHBC, LABC, and other warranty standards. This service validates the stability of temporary construction platforms, reducing risks during vibro stone column installation and guaranteeing safety and regulatory adherence.
