The Geopier Impact and Geopier Rampact Systems
W
The Geopier Impact and Geopier Rampact systems are efficient and cost-effective Intermediate Foundation solutions for the support of settlement-sensitive structures. Like the GP3 system, both the Impact and Rampact systems create stiff Rammed Aggregate Pier (RAP) elements using patented vertical ramming processes. Where the Geopier GP3 system uses a replacement method, the Impact and Rampact systems use the displacement method, ideally suited for contaminated sites where spoils or overexcavation is not an option. Both systems are extremely cost effective for installations in soils subject to caving because construction is facilitated using patented displacement mandrel, eliminating casing risks. The Impact and Rampact solutions replace massive over excavation and replacement and deep foundations, including driven piles, drilled shafts or augered cast-in-place piles. This high-performing systems provide high strength, stiffness and excellent levels of performance.

With more than two decades of proven foundationsupport, Geopier systems provide resource-friendly,ecient, and cost eective foundation support.

Geopier Rampact ConstructionUSA
The Geopier Rampact Construction ProcessThe Geopier Rampact system, like the Geopier Impact system, is a displacement technology. RAP elements provide effective support in relatively shallow deposits of man-made fill and other heterogeneous profiles to depth of approximately 6 m. Through its tapered shape, the Rampact system laterally compacts the matrix soil along the entire profile of the mandrel as the mandrel is driven into the ground. The blunt bottom is then used to compact each lift of aggregate which is introduced through the mandrel as the pier is constructed.
The Rampact system is faster to install and provides higher capacities relative to the displacement Impact system in appropriate soil profiles.
Geopier Impact Construction
The Geopier Impact Construction Process1. A specially designed mandrel and tamper foot is driven into the ground using a strong static force augmented by dynamic vertical impact energy. Depths normally range from 3 m to 14 m, depending on design requirements. A sacrificial cap or other flow restrictors prevent soil from entering the tamper foot and mandrel during driving. The process eliminates spoils and displaces soils laterally, densifying and reinforcing the existing soils.
2. After driving to design depth, the aggregate is fed into a hopper at the top of the mandrel by use of a telehandler. The hollow mandrel serves as a conduit for aggregate placement. The mandrel is then lifted approximately 1 m and then driven back down 60cm, forming a 30 cm thick compacted lift. Compaction is achieved through static
down force and dynamic vertical ramming from the hammer. The process densifies aggregate vertically and the patented bevelled tamper foot forces aggregate laterally into cavity sidewalls. This results in soil improvement, excellent coupling with surrounding soils and reliable settlement control with excellent strength and stiffness.
3. Following installation, the Rammed Aggregate Pier elements support shallow foundations, floor slabs, and reduce liquefaction potential and improve stability support of embankments, walls and storage tank foundations. The footing stresses are attracted to the stiff RAP elements, resulting in engineered settlement control.
