From haul roads in WA to tailings dams in QLD, High-Energy Impact Compaction (HEIC) is reshaping ground improvement across Australia’s mining operations. Backed by Intelligent Compaction Measurement (ICM), HEIC delivers faster, deeper, and more reliable results, boosting safety, sustainability, and cost-efficiency in some of mining’s toughest conditions.

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 at 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.
