Laying the Foundation: Why ground improvement engineering matters

Ground improvement enhances soil stability and strength, reducing risks and costs in construction. Techniques like HEIC ensure efficient, sustainable solutions for safer infrastructure.
What is HEIC?

HEIC compacts soil with high-energy impacts, boosting stability, reducing excavation, and saving costs. Landpac delivers efficient, tailored solutions for ground improvement.
Understanding Relative Soil Strength Before and After Deep Compaction

Site soil characterisation is essential for assessing soil strength and stability before and after deep compaction. It guides engineers in designing effective compaction plans, selecting suitable techniques, and ensuring a solid foundation for construction. Comprehensive testing and analysis help achieve safer, long-lasting structures.
Ground Improvement Solutions

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

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

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

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

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

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.
