As part of the redevelopment of a former gravel pit\/quarry facility, Vicano Development planned the construction of a new industrial building in Brantford, Ontario. Unsuitable soils were identified for a portion of the proposed industrial structure which required ground improvement to achieve the specified bearing capacity and settlement control for the column pad footings.<\/p>\n

Ground Conditions<\/h3>\n

\n

The soil conditions at the site generally consisted of a silty sand\/silt fill with gravel and cobbles underlain by very soft and oversaturated silts becoming native sand\/silt deposits. During the recent test pit investigation, groundwater levels were identified within the lower fill soils.<\/p>\n

Prior to the ground improvement works, the work areas were stripped of surficial topsoil and roughly graded.<\/p>\n

To support a portion of the building’s pad footings, concrete Rigid Inclusions were installed utilizing a Vibro-Auger. A total of 60 columns were installed through the soft and oversaturated silts to control settlement and improve the bearing capacity of the individual footings.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
