Your challenges
Industrial plant and equipment consists of unique structures that are often very heavy and sensitive. When foundations are built on compressible soils, careful consideration must be taken during design and execution to ensure the safe operation of the plant within the structures.
Our solutions
The most cost-effective foundation solutions generally call for a combination of ground improvement techniques suited to the loads and the soil conditions. These solutions make it possible to:
- support heavy uniform loads (water, oil and gas storage)
- support individual loads (pipeline supports, industrial equipment)
- support dynamic loads (oscillations, vibrations, seismic loadings)
- reduce absolute and differential settlement of structures
- reduce the risk of soil liquefaction.
This type of project calls for sound knowledge of the constraints and specifications of each structure to be treated and a familiarity of the potential technical issues which could arise during the various stages of the project from concept to handover.
