Applications for Geopier and Impact Rammed Aggregate Pier elements beneath structures on poor soil sites.

Foundation Support

• Unsurpassed settlement control
• Increased soil bearing pressure
• Normal spread footings
• Eliminates pile caps and grade beams

Floor Slab Support

• Provides a stiff engineered subgrade
• Allows for slabs-on-grade, not structural slabs

Slope Stabilization

• Creates a block of stiff, high friction angle material
• Increases global factor of safety
• In-house design using standard geotechnical apporaches

Tank Support

• Reduces total and differential settlements
• Increases bearing capacity
• Commonly used by biofuel, industrial and agricultural clients

MSE Wall & Embankment Support

• Increases factor of safety against global instability
• Increases bearing capacity
• Reduces settlements with a stiff construction platform
• Reduces settlements to tolerable amounts

Utility Line Support

• Provides uniform support for standard ductile iron and plastic pipes
• Normal pipe bedding may be used

Railroad Support

• Embankment global stability is increased

Uplift Control

• Uplift anchors installed within Rammed Aggregate Pier to resist uplift
• Economical, standard structural connections

Liquefaction Mitigation

• Provides a stiff, non-liquefiable inclusion
• Reduces magnitude of shear stresses on surrounding soils
• Provides a conduit for rapid drainage of excess pore water pressures
