Dson Industries is your experienced and reliable partner in Ground improvement through the use of mechanical means to improve weak or marginal soils and fills to support a structure. In order for a site to meet performance requirements, geo-technical engineers consider ground improvement, deep foundations or the remove-and-replace method. But of these options, ground improvement is often the most economical and efficient way to support shallow foundations in marginal soils, assuming the soil conditions and structural loads are suited for it.
When ground improvement is used on a project, it can provide the required bearing pressure for the optimal footing size, reduce settlement and address seismic concerns with liquefaction mitigation. When implemented by an experienced geo-technical contractor, ground improvement can improve bearing capacity on projects ranging foundation support of Commercial , industrial , transportation, residential and MSE walls to liquid storage tanks and earthen embankments.
Embankment foundations
Often poor sub-grade soils do not possess the strength to support road construction activities and the subsequent intended traffic loads. Dson Industry roadway reinforcement and stabilisation materials maximise load distribution and increase the effective bearing capacity of the sub-grade to help provide a stable foundation layer from which a permanent or temporary road/working platform can be built.
Including Dson Industry geogrid and geotextile products in roadway design improves the subgrade support – and ultimately the lifespan of the structure – by reducing and spreading the stress on the weak subgrade.
