    Keller Ground Engineering uses dynamic compaction and dynamic replacement techniques to improve ground conditions. These techniques involve dropping heavy weights from a crane onto soil in a grid pattern to compress the soil through impact and vibration. Dynamic compaction densifies soil through pore pressure increases and compaction waves, while dynamic replacement further strengthens deeper layers by filling compacted areas with rock. Keller Ground Engineering can design and implement these techniques to stabilize soft soils and minimize settlement for construction projects.

    The key takeaways are that Dynamic Compaction and Dynamic Replacement are ground improvement techniques that use repetitive dropping of heavy weights to increase soil density and bearing capacity. They are used on projects with soft soils, landfills, and mine sites to reduce settlement and liquefaction potential.

    Dynamic Compaction and Dynamic Replacement are ground improvement techniques that use repetitive dropping of heavy weights in a grid pattern to transfer mechanical energy into the ground. This helps pre-consolidate subsurface materials by increasing density, friction angle, and stiffness through compression of soils and overlapping stress waves.

    The main difference is that Dynamic Replacement further improves the ground by filling consolidated areas with rock and then continuing compaction. The rock infill strengthens deeper soil layers beyond the reach of Dynamic Compaction alone.

    Dynamic Compaction

    and Dynamic
    Replacement

    Keller Ground Engineering has a wealth of global and local


    knowledge within the geotechnical industry and as a result
    delivers the most economical ground improvement designs
    and products to achieve the client’s requests

    Australia’s Leader
    In Geotechnical Construction
    Example of DC/DR Free Dynamic Compaction and
    Fall Weights Dynamic Replacement
    THE TECHNIQUE
    Deep Dynamic Compaction (DC) and Dynamic Replacement (DR)
    both transfer mechanical energy – in the form of a free fall weight
    dropped by a crane; which on impact help to pre-consolidate the
    subsurface materials. Both techniques work most efficiently when
    set out in a grid pattern; as the surface absorbs the weight and
    depresses, the subsurface experiences stress waves caused by the
    dropped weight which compress the soil in a pre-determined radius
    and depth. By repeating this method in a grid pattern, the stress
    waves overlap one another to increase the density, and thus the
    capacity of the soil.

    THE PROCESS
    The DC and DR techniques are repetitive free fall drops in a grid
    Example of DC/DR Free pattern, which on impact consolidate the soil, increase the density,
    friction angle and stiffness; as well as decreasing the potential for
    Fall Weights
    site settlement or soil liquefaction. The process is relatively simple,
    being a series of repetitive free fall weights in a given location,
    whilst the precision lies in the positioning of the free fall weight in
    an exact location to achieve the most favorable outcomes.

    The difference between DC and DR, is that DR takes this process


    one step further by filling in the consolidated regions with rock
    and then continuing to compact the area. The rock infill acts to
    strengthen soil layers located at depths beyond the effective
    application of the DC method.

    Quality Assurance

    KGE can monitor and record:

    Degree of consolidation produced by the


    DDC & DCR methods

    Conduct pre/post CPTs across the


    working platform

    Provide material certificates and quality


    checks on the replacement rock
    THE DESIGN
    DC and DR are both dependent on the type
    of soil/ground condition, and ultimately
    the cohesiveness of the soil. In cohesive
    soils the free fall weight increases the
    pore water pressure which is followed by
    compaction, whilst in cohesionless soils
    the free fall weight creates waves which
    liquefy the soil forcing the particles closer
    together, thus compaction is achieved.
    Finally the free fall weight, drop height
    and spacing can be determined based on
    the geotechnical conditions and clients
    requirements.

    Ask KGE regarding your specific design requirements to provide you with a cost effective and
    efficient design for your project.

    Pre-Construction
    KGE can conduct a site specific inspection/investigation to
    gather any unknown design and construction data. Once this
    data has been processed, KGE will mobilize to site bringing
    the materials, plant/equipment and operators ready to
    commence the DC or DR works.

    During Construction
    KGE will monitor the degree of compaction and record any
    onsite data which is required by the client; including, but
    not limited to;

    Pre-Cone Penetration Tests

    Post CPTs

    Degree of consolidation per location

    Amount of rock fill per location (DR Method)

    Post Construction
    KGE will compile all the relevant QA data and submit that to
    the client (as agreed upon, or requested by the client).
