Vibrocompaction Ground Improvement Specialists
Vibrocompaction can improve the bearing capacity of your loose or sandy soils having less than 10 to 15 percent fines (passing the #200 sieve). If the soils have a larger percent of fines content, vibro stone columns (vibro-replacement) would be a more practical ground improvement method.
Benefits of Vibrocompaction
- Increases bearing capacity
- Reduces foundation size and cost
- Minimizes foundation settlement
- Mitigates potential for liquefaction, especially in flood plain or coastal environments where loose sands can extend down to depths greater than 100 feet.
- Allows construction on granular fill

Discover More About the Vibrocompaction Process
Vibrocompaction is a technique typically performed on a grid pattern across an entire site, eliminating potential for liquefaction under on-site structures. It uses a high energy vibratory probe (called vibroflot) lowered into the ground in order to densify loose granular soils. The vibroflot is a cylindrical probe consisting of an eccentric weight rotating about an internal axis of the tool. This rotation inside the tool causes the vibroflot to vibrate horizontally.
Often aided by water jetting through the nose of the tool, the vibroflot advances into the ground to the desired treatment depth. The vibration causes the loose granular particles to densify, allowing for an increase in strength (measured by SPT or CPT) of the soil up to a factor of 3 or 4.
