Derby – A Hot Spot for Ground Improvement   Menard UK has recently completed another successful Controlled Modulus Columns (CMC) project in Derby with columns installed to support a large new cold store warehouse working to tight tolerances beneath a high bay warehouse. The CMC solution was proposed to limit settlements to 25mm beneath both foundations and ground floor slabs with differential settlements limited to 1/500 in general slab areas and 1/2000 in the high bay racking area. 9,500no. CMCs were installed over a period of 7 weeks with 3no. CMC rigs.   The equipment has now moved to the other side of Derby to our next CMC project for another large warehouse installing over 7,000no. CMCs beneath foundations and ground floor slabs.   These schemes are the latest of several successful ground improvement schemes in the Derby area over the past 3-4 years. A total of 16no. structures are now completed or in construction utilising Menard’s ground improvement techniques including warehousing, housing, tanks and new college buildings with multiple techniques such as CMCs, Dynamic Replacement and Vibro Stone Columns.   With plenty more schemes planned in the area and a very good understanding of the local soils and suppliers, we look forward to delivering more successful projects for our clients in the coming months and years.     Menard UK is available to assist with any enquiries or questions regarding Ground Improvement.
