International Geotechnical Innovation Conference (IGIC) 2024
22 November 2024
A big thank you to Nabil Salim and their team of experts for showcasing the BSP-TEX Rapid Impact Compaction range at IGIC ‘24, Dubai. Nabil Salim is Director at Bedrock Construction Equipment UAE. Bedrock specialises in ground engineering solutions, and is our exclusive agent in Bahrain, UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, and Oman.
One of Bedrock’s more recent additions to their fleet of ground improvement equipment is a BSP-TEX RIC 16000 Mk.2. Rapid Impact Compaction (RIC) is a technique allied to Dynamic Compaction that can be used to increase the bearing capacity of soils through controlled impact. The RIC 16000 has a drop-weight mass of 16 tonne and is compatible with 75-85 tonne excavators. The impact energy and soil deflection are recorded by the on-board computer, and the results are potentially twice as fast and at least 40% cheaper than conventional methods.
The International Geotechnical Innovation Conference (IGIC) is a key event in the geotechnics industry, and a knowledgebase for sharing cutting-edge foundation design and ground improvement techniques. It’s also a world-class exhibition of geotechnical solutions and ground improvement equipment. Looking forward to IGIC 2025, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
