HEIC Groud Compaction
This contractor opted for ground compaction at their buildings and minor enhancements maintenance delivery unit (MDU) project.
This method involves repeatedly applying external forces to compact soil to increase its physical properties such as strength and stability.
This method reduces embodied carbon, utilising the site’s existing soil significantly lowers the carbon footprint. Piling involves materials like steel and concrete, which have high embodied carbon due to their manufacturing processes.
It is calculated to have saved 143,923kg of C02 on this project compared to the original piling scheme.
