What is HEIC?

A green tractor with yellow wheels is towing a large, heavy yellow roller on a dirt field, enhancing accelerated consolidation. The background features trees and a clear blue sky.

Ground improvement is a fundamental aspect of civil and geotechnical engineering, crucial for ensuring the stability and integrity of construction projects such as roads, buildings, bridges, or residential areas.

Deleterious Material Sites with HEIC

A construction vehicle, a soil compactor, is efficiently operating on a dirt road at the HEIC site. It is flattening the surface near a pile of soil while ensuring no deleterious material affects its progress. Trees and a metal fence line the side of the road.

One primary concern with deleterious materials is their containment. HEIC plays a pivotal role here, compacting the soil to form a denser barrier.

Moin Container Terminal

A tractor drives across a large, barren construction site resembling a future terminal, with numerous cranes in the background under a cloudy sky. The ground appears leveled and sandy, indicating early stages of construction work at what could soon be Moin's bustling hub.

The expansion of Moin Container Terminal in Limon, Costa Rica, crucial for handling 80% of the country’s freight, involved developing a 40Ha reclaimed area with dredged sand fill.

London Gateway

The London Gateway project, a major deep-sea container port in Essex, UK, involved extensive land reclamation using dredged fill.

Port Tanger Project

A large green tractor with yellow wheels is parked on a construction site under a cloudy sky. Two workers wearing hard hats and safety vests stand next to it, alongside a yellow cylindrical roller attachment, as they progress the Port Tanger development.

The Tanger MED 2 project, essential for the construction of a new container terminal in Morocco, required substantial dredging and backfilling over a 140ha area.

Kooragang Island Coal Export Terminal

A large construction vehicle moves over a sandy surface at a construction site on Kooragang Island. In the background, there is a yellow crane, mounds of dirt, and an industrial terminal under a clear blue sky.

The expansion of the Kooragang Island Coal Export Terminal, aimed at increasing coal throughput to 30 Mtpa, involved substantial dredging and reclamation efforts.

Chek Lap Kok Airport

A yellow steamroller compacts sandy terrain under a blue sky near Hong Kong Airport. Two additional yellow construction vehicles are visible in the background on a raised portion of the landscape.

Through Landpac’s expertise in HEIC, Chek Lap Kok Airport successfully addressed its soil compaction and stability challenges, laying a robust foundation for its infrastructure.
