All Techniques

Menard Asia has completed a ground improvement project in Ringlet, Cameron Highlands. The project addressed the soft ground condition, which was anticipated due to the area's history as a former sediment dump from the adjacent site.

Menard proposed a solution using Soil Mixing to ensure the stability of the platform during the temporary and final stage of the construction of the quay.

Menard treated a 70 m band along the river bank in order to maintain the overall stability while the fill was raised on in the container area, treated by vertical drain and surcharge.

Menard Vacuum™ process ensured drastic reduction of the necessary amount of sand fill and especially the consolidation time (6 months instead of 14).

Menard’s solution allows to comply with the design criteria in terms of SLS bearing capacity, dynamic deformation modulus, and subgrade reaction coefficient, for the 12 turbines.

Dynamic Compaction Installation on uncontrolled backfill by Menard enables a more economical foundation system for residential construction.

The project is a platform construction of two storey housing within the residential development area. The platform is designed to be approximately at 1.3 m above the existing ground level (EGL).

Prefabricated Vertical Drain (PVD) has been installed by Menard to accelerate the consolidation of the compressible soils for the construction of a single storey factory in Selangor.

Menard has completed the ground improvement work by combining the Dynamic Compaction technique with Vibrofloatation.

This project is the first PVD job for Menard in Bangladesh.
