Ground reinforcement work | SMD method that solves construction challenges in small sites and densely populated residential areas.

The SMD method realizes consideration for neighbors and significant shortening of construction time in narrow sites and densely populated residential areas through the use of small construction machinery and no soil disposal or curing.

Ground reinforcement work is an essential construction process to prevent tilting and structural damage of buildings on weak ground, ensuring the long-term structural safety of the buildings. In urban areas and densely populated residential zones, the distance between adjacent buildings and narrow access routes pose significant challenges. The SMD pile method developed by Geotech Co., Ltd. is a minister-approved rotary driven steel pipe pile method that demonstrates its effectiveness in small sites and environments with many constraints. This method uses a compact, specialized construction machine (such as the DHJ series), allowing for smooth transportation and installation even in sites where conventional large machinery cannot enter. Since it employs a non-dirt-displacing rotary driven method that does not use cement solidifying materials, there is no need for the disposal of excess soil or curing periods, enabling immediate commencement of the next foundation work after completion of the piling. The work proceeds with low noise and low vibration, and there is no impact on the surrounding environment from cement dust. Through meticulous pre-investigation and real-time data management, we achieve both a reduction in construction time and high-quality reinforcement while preventing neighborhood disputes.
