Ground Improvement
Mitigating Seismic Risks and Soft Ground with Tailored Approaches
Offer ground improvement design solutions like Rammed Aggregate Piers, stone columns, rigid inclusions, soil injection and soil replacement to mitigate seismic or settlement risks.
Land development in areas prone to seismic or static settlement requires expert guidance to ensure stability and safety. KGA collaborates closely with clients, specialist contractors, and civil or structural engineers to deliver the most effective ground improvement strategies. By addressing the risks associated with seismic and static induced settlement, we provide innovative and cost effective solutions tailored to each site’s unique conditions.
Our expertise includes design, construction certification, and ongoing project support to ensure optimal outcomes in earthquake-prone regions and areas of soft soils.
Transforming Weak Ground into Stable Foundations
KGA employs a range of advanced techniques to improve ground stability and mitigate seismic risks and soft soils effect.
These are vertical columns of compacted gravel or crushed stone installed in the ground. They enhance the load-bearing capacity and reduce settlement, making them effective for liquefaction mitigation.
These are rigid inclusions installed in the ground to improve its load-bearing capacity and reduce settlement. They are used for supporting structures on soft soils.
This technique involves mixing the soil with cementitious materials to improve its strength and stiffness. It’s commonly used to mitigate liquefaction and improve the bearing capacity of the ground.
This technique involves injecting grout into the soil to fill voids and increase its strength and stiffness. It’s used to control groundwater and improve the stability of the ground.
These techniques are tailored to address specific ground conditions and project requirements, ensuring optimal performance and safety.
