Ground Improvement Work
Advanced Soil Strengthening for Safer and More Stable Foundations
As a specialist piling contractor, we utilize our rigs and tooling to execute ground improvement works. We construct stone columns and Controlled Modulus Columns (CMC) to strengthen weak or compressible soils. Using displacement tools mounted on rotary and CFA rigs, we create dense granular columns or rigid inclusions that enhance bearing capacity, reduce settlement, and provide uniform support beneath slabs-on-grade, raft foundations, tanks, pavements, and embankments. This piling-based approach delivers high productivity, reliable performance, and cost-effective solutions for challenging ground conditions.

You have a question?
Common questions.
What is ground improvement, and why is it important?
Ground improvement is the process of enhancing soil properties to increase strength, stability, and load-bearing capacity. It helps prevent excessive settlement, ensures long-term structural safety, and reduces construction risks.
What methods of ground improvement do you offer?
We provide a wide range of techniques tailored to project requirements and soil conditions, including:
Vibro Compaction & Vibro Replacement (Stone Columns)
Dynamic Compaction
CMC (Controlled Modulus Columns)
Grouting & Jet Grouting
Soil Stabilization & Mixing Methods
How long does ground improvement take?
The duration depends on the size of the project, soil type, and chosen technique. Small to medium projects may take a few weeks, while larger projects can extend to several months. We always plan efficiently to minimize time and cost.
Can ground improvement replace deep foundations?
Yes, in many cases. Ground improvement can provide sufficient bearing capacity and reduce settlement, making shallow foundations possible instead of expensive deep foundations. However, the choice depends on soil conditions and structural requirements.
Is it suitable for all soil types in UAE conditions?
Most soil types in the UAE — including loose sands, silts, and soft clays — can be improved using appropriate techniques. Our engineering team evaluates each site to design the most effective and economical ground improvement solution.
