Geopier - Rampact Pier System for Compaction & Stabilization of Soil

The Rampact pier system is another Geopier stabilization method for soils that simply won’t stay open during drilling.  Rather than using a displacement auger, Rampact piers are installed using a tapered mandrel outfitted with a patented compaction chamber to penetrate through caving soils and construct piers from the bottom up. This method allows for the construction of high-quality Rammed Aggregate Piers (RAPs) below the groundwater table without having to worry about contamination and/or fouling of the aggregate.  The end result of Rampact® is a dense column of aggregate surrounded by stiffened matrix soils that provide excellent settlement control and allow for higher foundation bearing capacities.
