Learn how we can improve your educational facility’s foundations with our ground improvement solutions.
Education sector facilities are always expanding to accommodate growing student populations and different types of educational needs. CNC Foundations has a range of ground improvement solutions to strengthen the ground on your educational facility’s construction site.
We come in when an educational building site’s foundation is too soft to start construction. Our ground improvement services reinforce the soil and settlement on the site. These services work on soft and granular soils, such as clay, silt, and sand. Once we complete these services, foundation construction can begin on your site.
We provide these services for many types of foundations in the education sector. These types include basement foundations, slab foundations, and mat foundations. We apply our ground improvement services to construction sites to ensure their new facilities have solid shallow foundations. If your site’s bearing pressures are too great for shallow foundations, you’ll have to solve the problem with deep foundations, which can be expensive investments for your construction project.
When we perform ground improvement services for educational institutions, we often use vibro stone columns (VSCs), also known as vibratory piers or aggregate piers. VSCs are columns of stone aggregate. We install them in the ground to improve the soil matrix’s properties until it’s strong enough to support a building. We use a special vibratory probe called a vibroflot to insert the VSCs into the soil. VSCs provide cost-effective ways to create shallow foundations in soft or granular soils.
