Ground improvement is the use of mechanical techniques to improve subpar or marginal soils and fills in order to support a structure. To meet the performance requirements for a location, geotechnical engineers will look into ground improvement, deep foundations, or the remove-and-replace procedure. However, if the soil conditions and structural loads are appropriate, ground improvement is frequently the most economical and effective solution to support shallow foundations in marginal soils.
When used on a project, ground improvement can reduce settlement, provide the necessary bearing pressure for the ideal footing size, and handle structural issues with liquefaction mitigation. When carried out by a skilled geotechnical contractor, ground improvement may increase the bearing capacity of projects such as multi-story buildings, MSE walls, liquid storage tanks, and earthen embankments.
A number of techniques are referred to as "ground improvement." The most typical approach in Malaysia uses aggregate piers, which are typically installed using either a vibratory or a ramming technique to compress the stone. Terms like vibro stone columns and aggregate piers are often used interchangeably. BRS may also perform vibro concrete columns, vibrocompaction, and wick drains depending on the soil characteristics and settling standards.
BRS is one of Malaysia's top ground improvement contractors, having finished jobs all over the country. Before installation starts, our experts determine which ground improvement option is the most practical and efficient for your project using their expertise and the pertinent geotechnical data. For implementation, we have a sizable fleet of ground-improvement machinery. Additionally, BRS has created and produced specialised high-frequency vibratory machinery that enhances mobilisation and installation efficiency. Our specialists offer ground improvement designs that are affordable and suitable for your project.
