GROUND IMPROVEMENT

Ground Improvement

Caporn Piling provides advanced ground improvement solutions, including Drilled Displacement Piles for soil stabilisation and Combination Cut-off Walls to control groundwater flow and contamination. These techniques enhance ground strength and stability, reduce settlement and improve sited conditions for construction.

Drilled Displacement Piles

Drilled Displacement Piles are installed using high-torque piling rigs, laterally displacing soil to compact and strengthen the surrounding ground. This method is:

  • Highly productive and vibration-free

  • Ideal for Controlled Modulus Column (CMC) Rigid Inclusions

  • Used to improve in-situ soil conditions through a grid installation pattern

  • Unreinforced for soil improvement or reinforced for lateral load resistance

Combination Cut-off Walls

Designed to restrict groundwater flow and prevent contamination, Combination Cut-off Walls are commonly used for landfills and waste containment facilities.

  • Bentonite slurry walls combined with vinyl sheet piles create a low-permeability barrier

  • Effective in dewatering containment areas without requiring large-scale groundwater treatment

  • Verification testing ensures long-term performance and compliance

With proven expertise in ground improvement and contamination control, Caporn Piling delivers tailored solutions that enhance site conditions and foundation integrity.
