CMC / Rigid inclusions
Menard developed rigid inclusions – 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 meters or more. If soil condition requires, CMC auger can be changed into Continues formed auger CFA.
SC / Vibro columns
Stone columns (vibro columns) is a ground improvement technique that reinforces the soil with a network of stone compacted columns.
BMC
Bi-modulus columns is a ground improvement technique that reinforces the soil by a combination of rigid inclusions CMC and stone vibro columns.
DSM / Soil mixing
Soil Mixing is a ground improvement technique that reinforces the soil by mixing in situ a network of grout and soil columns.
DC
Dynamic compaction is a ground improvement technique that densifies the soil by repeatedly pounding it with a high energy pounder.
DR
Dynamic replacement is a ground improvement technique that reinforces fine grained soils with a network of dynamically pounded pillars.
HEIC
Menard provides ground improvement solutions for all types of process and energy projects, from small to large, all around the world.
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 meter embankment.
