The Right Ground Improvement Technologies for Varying Soils and Project Demand

Every ground improvement project is unique and requires a thoughtful, individualized approach due to the myriad of soil conditions, performance requirements and potential seismic hazards present at any given site. Varying subsurface conditions can include primarily sandy, silty, clayey soils or anything in between, and depending on the structure, the project will have different load […]

Understanding the Basics of Ground Improvement: Design-Build Process

Every project site has unique subsurface conditions that must be addressed before construction can begin. Ground improvement solutions can remedy problematic site soils beneath the intended structure to enhance foundation bearing capacity, control settlements and permeability, mitigate liquefaction, reduce lateral spread issues, increase ground density and improve slope stability. Understanding ground improvement fundamentals can help […]

The Importance of Implementing a Strict Safety Protocol for Ground Improvement Projects

Due to the nature of work in not only ground improvement, but any construction-centered industry, the risk of on-the-job injuries and potentially dangerous work environments is an unavoidable variable. For this reason, it’s essential to set up stringent protocols and policies that help to ensure the safest work environments for your employees. At AGI, we […]
