Laminate flooring is a multi-layer synthetic flooring product fused together with a lamination process.
Laminate flooring has grown significantly in popularity,perhaps because it may be easier to install and maintain than more traditional surfaces such as hardwood flooring. It may also have the advantages of costing less and requiring less skill to install than alternative flooring materials.
A site improvement technique for granular material,Vibro-Compaction uses company-designed probe-type vibrators to densify soils to depths of up to 120 feet. Vibro-Compaction increases bearing capacity for shallow-footing construction,reduces settlements and also mitigates liquefaction potential in seismic areas.
Very weak,cohesive and organic soils that are not suitable for standard Vibro techniques can be improved by the installation of Vibro Concrete Columns. Beneath large area loads,Vibro Concrete Columns reduce settlement,increase bearing capacity,and increase slope stability.
Dynamic Deep Compaction is an economic site improvement technique used to treat a range of porous soil types and permit shallow,spread footing construction. Soils are densified at depth by the controlled impact of a crane-hoisted,heavy weight(15-35 tons) on the ground surface in a pre-determined grid pattern. Dynamic Deep Compaction is also successful in densifying landfill material for the highway construction of recreational landscaping.
Typically used in soft soils,the soil mixing technique relies on the introduction of an engineered grout material to either create a soil-cement matrix for soil stabilization,or to form subsurface structural elements to support earth or building loads. Soil mixing can be accomplished by many methods,with a wide range of mixing tools and tool configurations available.
