This technique is suitable for a wide variety of materials including clays, silts, sands, rocks/boulders, dredged fill, and industrial waste. Compaction improvement depth can be as much as 15 feet and generally up to 7 feet. This technique is primarily applicable to stabilization of the working platform but may also be used on materials installed in new embankments and embankment widening projects.</p><p>
