SOIL CONSOLIDATION

It could be a soil with insufficient initial bearing capacity such as embankments. It can also be an accidental weakened ground, for example following a water leak in the ground or an accidental decompression after uncontrolled earthmoving nearby. The settlement of the ground causes that of the construction above. SOLINJECTION® techniques allow the consolidation of these soils with insufficient bearing capacity

Pathologies

requiring soil consolidation • Differential settlement of foundations or slabs built on existing soil or backfill with insufficient initial bearing capacity • Differential settlement of foundations or slabs built on soil which has suffered a significant reduction in its load-bearing capacity due to external factors: Network leaks Decompression of soils following the evolution of underground voids Soil decompaction caused by excavations nearby Etc. • Predictable settlement in the event of an increase in the loads brought by the construction (for example: change of operation or destination of the building, modification of the foundation system)

Solution objective

The SOIL COMPACTING® solution essentially addresses the problems posed by soils with insufficient bearing capacity. It is similar to the soil treatment methods by injection provided for by standard EN 12715. The aim of this solution is to improve the characteristics of the soil
