What are Aggregate Piers?
Aggregate piers are a cost-effective and efficient solution for reinforcing soft soils, improving load-bearing capacity, and reducing settlement. Whether you’re working on commercial, industrial, or residential developments, we have the expertise to provide solutions that stabilize the ground and ensure the longevity of your structures.
Why Choose Aggregate Piers?
Aggregate piers, vibro stone columns, or vibro replacement piers, are constructed by drilling into the ground and compacting aggregate in layers. This process creates stiffened columns that enhance the soil’s strength, improving its ability to support heavy loads.
Key Benefits
- Enhanced Load-Bearing Capacity: Ideal for structures requiring increased soil stability, such as warehouses, bridges, and multi-story buildings.
- Reduced Settlement: Mitigates long-term settlement in weak soils, providing a reliable foundation.
- Fast Installation: Our efficient installation process minimizes construction delays, helping you stay on schedule and within budget.
- Cost-Effective: Aggregate piers offer a more economical solution than traditional deep foundation systems like driven piles or drilled shafts.
Applications
- Commercial and Industrial Buildings
- Roadways and Highways
- Railways
- Bridges and Embankments
- Retaining Structures
- Residential Developments
