Ground Improvement

We offer a variety of ground improvement services to improve the ground conditions. This includes vibro stone columns, rigid inclusions, and track bed stabilization.

Vibro Stone Columns

Vibro stone columns are used to improve the ground conditions by creating columns of compacted stone. This helps to increase the soil's bearing capacity.

Rigid Inclusions

Rigid inclusions are used to improve the ground conditions by creating columns of rigid material. This helps to increase the soil's bearing capacity.

Track Bed Stabilisation (TBS)

Track bed stabilization is a method of improving the ground conditions beneath railway tracks. This helps to reduce track settlement and improve ride quality.

Retaining Structures

We design and construct a variety of retaining structures to support slopes and excavations. This includes contiguous piled walls, secant piled walls, and king post walls.

Contiguous Piled Walls

Contiguous piled walls are a type of retaining wall that is constructed by driving a series of piles into the ground. The piles are then connected together to form a continuous wall.

Secant Piled Walls

Secant piled walls are a type of retaining wall that is constructed by driving a series of piles into the ground. The piles are then connected together to form a continuous wall.

King Post Walls

King post walls are a type of retaining wall that is constructed by driving a series of piles into the ground. The piles are then connected together to form a continuous wall.

Sheet Piling

Sheet piling is a type of retaining wall that is constructed by driving a series of interlocking steel sheets into the ground. The sheets are then connected together to form a continuous wall.

Ground Anchors
