Thank you for posting your query.

Currently HILTI doesn’t offer any soil improvement product or solution. It is recommended that you get in touch with a consultant. There are a number of different techniques available in market to arrest the Soil Settlement effectively depending on type of application, extent of settlement, loads and other parameters.

  1. Use of pile foundations where the soil is shrinkable, so that forces are transferred to the hard strata or rock.
  2. Taking the foundation levels down to avoid foundation on shrinkable soils.
  3. The vegetation is removed from the construction site and its roots are removed. Any cavity due to roots of vegetation shall be compacted and filled with concrete.
  4. Presence of any mining areas needs to be inspected and professional help shall be taken while construction new buildings in such areas.
