Stone columns — installation and ground treatment overview

HOW IT WORKS

Installation sequence

01

Set out & penetrate

Establish the grid and selected wet or dry installation method.

02

Place & compact

Place aggregate and compact in controlled stages.

03

Verify improvement

Review depth and aggregate records and complete specified verification tests.

APPLICATION & ENGINEERING

Bearing improvement and settlement reduction

Compacted aggregate columns reinforce suitable weak soils. They are distinct from concrete rigid inclusions; soil suitability and settlement performance govern selection.

When to choose this method

Vibro replacement installs compacted aggregate columns to improve suitable weak ground. Design addresses bearing resistance, total and differential settlement, and the soil confinement needed for column performance; it is not the same process as sand vibrocompaction.

Planning the installation

The ground investigation, groundwater conditions and structural requirements inform method selection. Working access, installation sequence and effects on neighbouring structures are reviewed before execution.

Construction control points

  • Establish the grid and selected wet or dry installation method.
  • Place aggregate and compact in controlled stages.
  • Review depth and aggregate records and complete specified verification tests.

Record column locations, penetration depth and aggregate consumption. Confirm treatment performance using the specified trials, load tests or ground investigation checks.
