    The document describes a new non-vibration stone column system for ground improvement. Some key advantages of the system include: 1) It does not require high pressure water, air, or produce vibrations, allowing it to be used near sensitive sites. 2) It uses a hybrid drilling assembly that can penetrate hard layers without pre-drilling, saving time and costs. 3) Completed columns are built fully at all times without void spaces, improving integrity over methods using a plunging motion.

    MAIN COMPONENTS PATENTED TECHNOLOGY

    The new ground improvement method is


    > vibration free so it can be used
    EPICYLIC GEARBOX
    immediately next to sensitive sites or
    FOR INNER FEED
    ASSEMBLY neighbouring buildings
    > Less power required

    > Fuel savings


    ROTARY HEAD
    (DRIVES OUTER
    DRILLING > Only two plant items required
    ASSEMBLY)

    > Fast to set up

    STONE HOPPER
    > No high pressure water or air
    injection required therefore
    less mess

    OUTER DRILLING > Bottom feed – can be used in collapsing soils


    ASSEMBLY

    Binder can be introduced to provide rigid


    > inclusions in the soil – no
    expensive concrete delivery trucks
    or pumps required
    OUTER TOOL-TIP > No creation of liquefaction
    and possible machine
    instability due to vibrations

    > No high wear and high


    maintenance high frequency
    TIP OF FEED vibrating parts
    ASSEMBLY
    > Proven technique in a number
    of different soil types

    > Recognised by international

    NON VIBRATION STONE COLUMNS SYSTEM


    Method opens up new foundation No introduction of high pressure water or
    possibilities, where previously stone air required so relatively mess free. Sites
    columns/ground improvement could not be immediately adjacent to sensitive
    considered due to vibrations and nuisance. environments completed.
    Graded filter selected materials can be used The tooling is a hybrid drilling assembly,
    so columns are more resistant to clogging this allows tool penetration through hard
    in liquefaction events. Columns remain layers and removes the requirement for predrilling, that
    is often required for vibrating tooling.
    effective for multiple events.

    WORKING PHASES

    1. Drilling and 2. Extraction and 3. Final Stone Column


    compacting stone feeding

    Method builds complete columns at all times, so Fuel and Cost Savings on traditional stone column
    there is no-void space introduction to allow column systems. No additional power packs are required,
    contamination at any time, unlike methods where a only one rig to perform the job.
    plunging motion is used. Can be attached to a conventional rotary piling rig,
    thus a truly multi-purpose machine that can be
    converted back to other techniques is possible.
