Advanced analyses and ground improvement

Natural ground conditions can often exhibit very poor strength and deformability characteristics, leading to a significant risk of instability without appropriate geotechnical support measures. In such cases, ground improvement techniques for soil and rock mass are applied, supported by specialist geotechnical analyses.

Our role is to propose an optimal combination of ground improvement measures that are both technically effective and economically justified.

What's included in this service?

Our specialist analyses and ground improvement services typically include:

  • vibrocompaction and dynamic compaction design
  • dimensioning of crushed stone columns
  • design of material replacement in weak zones
  • application of lightweight materials (e.g. fly-ash, EPS blocks)
  • design of geotechnical anchors and monitoring programmes

For each improvement measure, we define the expected effects, application limits, and quality control parameters during execution to ensure consistency between the designed and achieved performance.

An adequate ground improvement design contributes to:

  • safe foundation and operation of structures in complex conditions
  • reduction of the risk of excessive settlement and structural damage
  • more cost-effective solutions compared to alternative methods (e.g. piling)
  • reduction of uncertainty during construction

Our goal is to define solutions that achieve the optimal balance between safety, cost and constructability under specific site conditions.
