Key soil investigation,
improvement & remediation provider
Key soil investigation, improvement and remediation provider, Menard develops foundation solutions based on ground improvement and reinforcement technologies that eliminate the need for the deep foundations traditionally used to support surface structures. The Group operates throughout the infrastructure life cycle, offering expertise in soil.
Sectors & Techniques
Menard delivers the full range of ground improvement techniques to provide effective, innovative and economical solutions for its clients. Our teams design, build and remediate all types of ports, airports, highways, railways, buildings, process and energy infrastructure.
Ports & Airports
Menard understands the key challenges of port and airport projects and can deliver adapted ground improvement solutions all over the world.
Rail & Road
From a suburban road to a key high-speed train line, Menard masters the full range of ground improvement solutions to deliver your project.
Process & Energy
Menard provides ground improvement solutions for all types of process and energy projects, from small to large, all around the world.
Controlled Modulus Columns (CMC)
Menard developed Controlled Modulus Columns in the 1990s to overcome problems of lateral confinement in highly compressible and organic soils. They are now used in all types of soil (cohesive or granular) up to depths of 30 metres or more.
Stone columns
Stone columns is a ground improvement technique that reinforces the soil with a network of stone compacted columns.
Bi-modulus columns
Bi-modulus columns is a ground improvement technique that reinforces the soil by a combination of CMC and stone columns.
Soil Mixing
Soil Mixing is a ground improvement technique that reinforces the soil by mixing in situ a network of grout and soil columns.
Slurry wall
Slurry Wall is a ground improvement technique that uses non-structural underground barriers to build cut-off walls to prevent the flow of water.
Jet grouting
Jet grouting is a ground reinforcement technique. One or several jets of fluid with high kinetic energy are used to break apart and mix the ground with a liquid cement slurry so as to form a column of “soil concrete”.
Dynamic compaction
Dynamic compaction is a ground improvement technique that densifies the soil by repeatly pounding it with a high energy pounder.
Dynamic replacement
Dynamic replacement is a ground improvement technique that reinforces fine grained soils with a network of dynamically pounded pillars.
Compaction grouting
Compaction grouting is a ground improvement technique that densifies the soil by grouting under pressure a network of inclusions.
Rapid Impact Compaction (RIC)
Rapid Impact Compaction is a ground improvement technique that densifies the soil by pounding it at high frequency with a medium sized pounder.
High Energy Impact Compaction (HEIC)
The technique of High Energy Impact Compaction (or Impact Roller Compaction) involves application of high energy impulsed at the ground surface utilizing rollers.
Vibrocompaction
Vibrocompaction is a ground improvement technique that densifies the soil by shaking it with a vibro probe.
Vertical drains
Vertical drains, also known as prefabricated vertical drains or wick drains, are made up of a plastic core surrounded by a geotextile that acts as a filter to prevent clogging.
Menard Vacuum™
Menard Vacuum™ is used to accelerate consolidation of cohesive, highly compressible soils. The process consists in creating a negative pressure under an airtight membrane laid over the soil, which generates atmospheric pressure on the soil, equivalent to the pressure exerted by a 4 metre embankment.
