Industrial

In both new build and redevelopment of existing premises Keller Geotechnique can demonstrate a substantial track record of successfully designing and constructing the right engineered solution. 

Heavy duty machinery or storage racking upgraded to meet new production demands can impose loads over the original design loadings for floor slabs causing failures. Such failures create delays in production or prevent facility enhancers such as Mezzanine floor installation. 

Compaction Grouting can be employed to fill voids and densify the soils beneath slab formations to overcome these limitations.  Preventing leachate migration from industrial sites is a critical consideration particularly where water courses are threatened with contamination.

Hydraulic cut off walls can be constructed by Keller Geotechnique even in restricted access situations utilising off-site manufactured HDPE panels bounded to high-tec geotextile fabrics.

Deep Dry Soil Mixing (DDM) techniques can be employed to improve soils sufficient to take the high loads imposed by heavy plant movements when sites are being developed.
