GAIA and Golder have been involved with ground densification and modification for many years. This includes the use of techniques such as dynamic compaction, rapid impact compaction, vibro-flotation stone columns, rammed aggregate piers, deep soil mixing, compaction grouting, electro-osmosis and preloading.
Using a design-build approach, GAIA offers its clients the opportunity to optimize the use of such techniques for the variety of constraints and geotechnical conditions that may exist at a particular site.
Using our close working relationship with specialist subcontractors and our understanding of the limitations of the various equipment and techniques, we provide optimized design-build solutions for sites requiring ground improvement.
