Ground Improvement
Purpose of Ground Improvement
Engineers are facing challenges in building roads, working platforms, mining, designing structures on problematic soils, etc. It is because of cost & resource considerations and the latest ground treatments are crucial. The following are the solutions to solve these problems:
- Excavation
- Replacement techniques
- Soil surcharging techniques
- Extended time periods
- Route changes
However, these techniques are quite expensive.
Advantages of Ground Improvement
Mu Jin Yuan provides a complete range of effective geosynthetic products used to treat any soil problems. Some benefits of our ground improvement products are:
- Control embankment construction stability
- Resist failure of rotational foundation caused by weak shear
- Improves soil strength
- Increase drainage paths
- Imported and ground materials can be positively separated
- Working platforms for permanent and temporary works can be assisted
- Increase density
- Lessen imposed loads
- Minimize permeability
Settlement Mitigation
Mu Jin Yuan develops grid composite and marine mattress systems for armor stone and beneath riprap. Combined with geotextiles and geogrids, various rubble-mound structures and riprap will have an improved filtration layer and foundation.
- Provides filtration and separation
- Reduce differential settlement
Typical Techniques
Jet Grouting – This method is called in-situ soil stabilization. It has high-pressured injecting cement slurry that can create columnar silcrete elements.
Soil Nailing – An effective solution to weathered rock, open-cut soil stabilization, and both permanent & temporary retaining structure.
Rammed Aggregate Pier (RAP) – This system has low amplitude impact and high-frequency ramming power. RAP systems can create stiff columnar elements and compress surrounding soil through compacting aggregates.
Geosynthetics – Made of high-density polyethylene and polypropylene. Lianyi geosynthetics are guaranteed ISO and CE certifications.
Concrete Canvas – This technique is versatile and a type of hydrated concrete fabric that creates an anti-fire, water-resistant, and tough layer of concrete. Concrete canvas is known in the following:
- Ditch lining
- Slope protection
- Bund lining
- Erosion control
- Waterproofing
- Irrigations
With the concrete canvas method, concrete construction is still possible without heavy machinery and mixing tools
Prefabricated Vertical Drains – It is an installed artificial path of drainage that provides the following benefits:
- Accelerates clay subsoil’s consolidation process
- Increase rapid strength to improve structure stability
