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.

- Use of pile foundations where the soil is shrinkable, so that forces are transferred to the hard strata or rock.
- Taking the foundation levels down to avoid foundation on shrinkable soils.
- 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.
- Presence of any mining areas needs to be inspected and professional help shall be taken while construction new buildings in such areas.
