GEOPIER® GP3® vs. CNC Foundations’ VSCs
Both Systems Have Their Pros and Cons, Let’s Dig Deeper
Soil conditions can vary greatly within a single job site. The characteristics of the in-situ soil play a crucial role in determining which ground improvement technique or group of techniques is best for each particular project.
GEOPIER® GP3® Rammed Aggregate Pier® System vs. CNC Foundations’ Direct Displacement VSC System
Vibro Stone Columns are currently one of the most commonly used Ground Improvement systems. They are designed to improve the load-bearing capacity of the surrounding soil and reduce excessive settlement. The GEOPIER® GP3® System reinforces poor soils like clay, silt, sand, gravel, and variable fill by using replacement Rammed Aggregate Pier® (RAP) elements.
GEOPIER®, GP3®, and Rammed Aggregate Pier® (RAP) are all registered trademarks of the Geopier® Foundation Company. CNC Foundations installs a comparable Direct Displacement Aggregate Pier / Vibratory Stone Column System.
