Read how Rammed Aggregate Pier® systems are now commonly used for foundation support solutions on wind tower sites around the world, helping to allay geotechnical risks.

Geopier installers are on site at Ball State University (Muncie, IN) installing 24-inch diameter GP3® pier elements in support of foundations and slabs for a 4-story facility.

Geopier Northwest has three crews installing more than 4,000 GeoConcrete® Columns and Grouted Impact® elements to support the nearly 1,700 kip column loads and to mitigate liquefaction settlement in portions of the nearly 200,000 square footing building footprint in Kirkland, WA.

The Geopier GP3® system is being used to reinforce silty soils in Lima, Peru, to support another phase of two 20-story high residential buildings. The 20-story buildings in the background were also supported by Geopier Rammed Aggregate Pier® elements.

Foundation Service Corporation is in the process of installing Geopier GP3® piers to support 32 wind turbines in Logan County, IL. The piers are being installed to reinforce soft clay soils for support of the heavily loaded turbines.

Construction begins at the Yaggie’s Rolled Oats Processing Facility in Yankton, SD. The Geopier X1® system is being installed to reinforce up to 17 feet of soft to stiff clay and silt to support column loads of up to 380 kips, wall loads of up to 21 kips per lineal foot, uplift loads up to 30 kips, and floor slab/ mat pressures of 350 to 1,100 pounds per square foot. The use of the Geopier technology eliminated the need for costly over-excavation and replacement or deep foundations.

Expansion of Smithfield Foods in Sioux Falls, SD will consist of a 1-story structure with pre-cast concrete construction and will occupy an approximate footprint of 118,000 sq ft. The Geopier X1® system will provide foundation and floor slab support with an increased bearing capacity. The X1 system is being installed to reinforce up to 17 ft of undocumented existing fill and soft clay alluvium to support column loads of up to 1,300 kips, wall loads of up to 15 kips per lineal foot, and floor slab pressures of 250 pounds per sq ft. The use of the Geopier technology eliminated the need for costly over-excavation and replacement.
