Dynamic Compaction, A Menard Invention brought to Australia
What’s bigger than 11,000 football fields and spans over 75 countries? 🌍🏗️
It’s the area Menard has improved using its innovative Dynamic Compaction (DC) technique!
At Nice Airport, Menard set the world record for the heaviest pounder ever used for Dynamic Compaction! 🛫🏆
Developed by Louis Ménard in the mid-1960s and first applied on-site in 1969, Dynamic Compaction remains one of the most efficient ground improvement methods to enhance soil strength and reduce settlement risks.
🔹 How It Works: A heavy pounder is dropped from a height (10-30m), compacting soils trhough a complex of waves interaction.
🔹 Construction Steps:
✅ Site preparation & layout
✅ Compaction phases based on a defined grid
✅ Backfilling DC craters
✅ Ironing phase for surface finishing
🔹 Best Suited For: Loose granular soils (sand, gravel), landfills, man-made fill, and reclaimed areas.
Across the globe, Menard continues to push the boundaries of ground improvement! 🚀
