Port Container Stacking Yard
Installed 14,000 stone columns through soft marine clay strata to support 40-ton container stack loads without settlement.
High-output vibro-replacement ground improvement utilizing compacted aggregate columns to increase bearing capacity, accelerate consolidation, and control differential settlement in soft soils.
Constructing heavy structures over soft, cohesive clays, silts, or uncompacted fill poses severe post-construction settlement and shear failure risks. Stone columns (vibro-replacement) improve poor ground by replacing weak soil with dense, compacted columns of well-graded stone.
GRIMTECH deploys heavy hydraulic vibroflots to install stone columns deep into soft strata, creating a stiffened composite ground matrix that delivers high load capacity, accelerated pore pressure relief, and long-term settlement control.
| Column Diameters | 600 mm to 1000 mm |
| Execution Depths | Up to 18 meters |
| Aggregate Materials | Hard, durable crushed stone or gravel (20 mm to 75 mm grading) |
| Bearing Capacity Boost | Increases allowable ground bearing capacity by 200% to 400% |
| Code Compliance | Designed and executed in accordance with IS 15284 (Part 1) guidelines for stone column design and construction. |
