- Are there environmental considerations for the system?
Yes, the Geopier system has less environmental impact than traditional cementation techniques. It uses local materials and reduces the need for excavation and material transport. - How does the Geopier system work?
The Geopier system involves inserting compacted aggregate pillars into the soil through techniques of drilling or displacement. These pillars help reinforce the soil and better distribute loads, which increases load-bearing capacity and reduces differential settlements. - In what types of projects can the Geopier system be used?
The Geopier system is used in a variety of projects, including:- Commercial and residential buildings
- Bridges and viaducts
- Roads and highways
- Industrial plants and warehouses
- Water treatment stations
- How long does the installation of the Geopier system take?
Installation time depends on the size of the project and site conditions but is generally faster than traditional deep foundations. A typical project can be completed in weeks rather than months.
