Using high deformation modulus columns to reduce settlement and increase the bearing capacity of the existing ground, rigid inclusions are suitable for weak, compressible soils.
Installed using an auger displacement tool to ensure there is minimal spoil generated, the columns are typically up to 350mm in diameter and are made of a low strength concrete and are unreinforced.
This ground improvement solution works alongside a load distribution mattress which allows for a traditional sub-structure design such as pad foundations, strip footings and ground bearing floor slabs.
