VERTICAL WICK DRAIN
Vertical Wick Drains are the most economical ground improvement solution for soft soils with a high clay/silt content. Sunzo manufactures and installs Prefabricated Vertical Drains (PVD) to accelerate the settlement of soft soils. In combination with surcharge or vacuum pressure, the time required to reach the settlement is reduced from years to only months.
"Consolidation you can build on."
Vertical drains are mostly used to shorten the settlement period of soft, water saturated soils. This can thus reduce the construction period of a project and avoid post-construction differential settlements. By applying a temporary preload on top of the embankment or fill, the consolidation period can be reduced even more.
Vacuum Consolidation is a soft soil ground improvement method that is typically combined with Prefabricated Vertical Drains and Horizontal Drains (PVD+VCM) and basically is a solution to replace the use of a surcharge. Further to the installation of the PVD, it consists of the application of a suction force with vacuum to an isolated mass of soil in order to reduce the atmospheric pressure and excess water pore pressure present in the soil, resulting in a consolidation of the soil, an increase in the effective stresses without modifying the total state stresses.
