Vibroflotation

Vibroflotation is a ground improvement technique used to strengthen loose, soft soils. It involves inserting a large, vibrating probe into the ground, which creates intense vibrations that rearrange soil particles, increasing density and stability. As the probe vibrates and moves up gradually, it causes the soil around it to settle more tightly, reducing the risk of settlement or shifting when building structures. This method is efficient for preparing areas to support heavy loads, without the need for extensive excavation or material addition. Vibroflotation is commonly used in construction projects to ensure a stable foundation on problematic soils.
