1. Dandifies soil
1. Ineffective for small depths (<6 meters) – grout pressures can heave
ground surface
2. Grouting adjacent to unsupported slope may be ineffective

This paper will describe recent applications in Malaysia for four separate
projects –
4.1 INTRODUCTION:
1.Vibro compaction
Reduced settlement
1. The vibrator located on ground at the stone column position as per design
2. The skip travels up the leaders and automatically discharge stone into
reception chamber at top of the vibrator.
3. The vibrator penetrate in the weak soil to the design depth under a
action of vibration and compressed air pull down
4. When vibrator reach required depth then stone is released and compacted
by small movement of the vibrator the pull down being employed on the
downward compacting action.
