<Download Technical Brochure for Menard Vacuum>
Menard Vacuum is the ultimate method for improving very soft clays. In this technique the vertical drains are connected to a pumping system, and the soil is sealed to prevent any air leaks. The vacuum environment not only supplies an additional pressure, but also instantly increases the soil's parameters to enable preloading without shear failure.
Key Benefits of Menard Vacuum
- Substantial time savings for consolidating very soft clays
- Less preloading surcharge
