Application:

• settlement mitigation of deep foundations beneath structures subject to uniform surface loads, such as industrial floors or storage tanks
• settlement mitigation beneath shallow foundations that are subject to high vertical loads but relatively low bending moments

The Rigid Inclusion soil improvement method is a combined foundation system that incorporates the advantages of both shallow and deep foundation solutions. Loads from the superstructure are transferred through a load‑distribution layer to the rigid inclusions elements arranged in a regular grid. Most frequently Screwsol piling technology is applied to construc the rigid elements. The constructed concrete columns are subjected exclusively to axial compression, therefore reinforcement is potentially required only to withstand temporary construction loads.
