Large-Scale Port Infrastructure Project Using APIE Vibroflot Technology
Project Overview
APIE FOUNDATION EQUIPMENT (CHINA) LIMITED successfully completed a comprehensive soil improvement project for a major international port terminal development in Southeast Asia. The project involved ground improvement works across 45,000 square meters of reclaimed land to support heavy-duty container handling equipment and storage facilities.
Challenge
The project site presented complex geotechnical conditions with loose to medium-dense sandy soils extending to depths of 12-15 meters. The client required ground improvement to achieve specific bearing capacity requirements for heavy container cranes, with target relative densities exceeding 70% and allowable bearing pressures of 300 kPa. Traditional compaction methods were deemed insufficient due to time constraints and environmental considerations.
Solution: APIE Vibroflot Ground Improvement System
Our advanced vibroflot technology was deployed using the deep vibratory compaction method to densify the granular soils effectively. The solution included:
- High-Frequency Vibroflot Equipment: Utilizing APIE’s latest vibro compaction equipment with adjustable frequency controls (25-50 Hz)
- Smart Monitoring System: Real-time tracking of vibration parameters, compaction depth, and soil response
- Optimized Grid Pattern: 2.5m * 2.5m triangular compaction grid for uniform densification
- Depth-Dependent Vibration: Variable intensity based on soil layer characteristics
Technical Specifications
- Vibroflot Power: 75 kW electric motor with variable frequency drive
- Vibration Amplitude: 0.8-2.5 mm (adjustable)
- Operating Frequency: 30-45 Hz (soil-dependent optimization)
- Maximum Treatment Depth: 15 meters
- Production Rate: 120-150 square meters per day per machine
Execution Process
- Site Investigation: Extensive geotechnical testing and soil characterization
- Trial Compaction: On-site testing to optimize vibroflot parameters
- Grid Layout: Precise positioning based on load distribution analysis
- Compaction Execution: Systematic vibroflot deployment with quality control checkpoints
- Verification Testing: Post-compaction testing to confirm improvement targets
Results
The vibro compaction equipment delivered exceptional outcomes:
- Bearing Capacity: Increased from 150 kPa to 350+ kPa
- Settlement Reduction: Anticipated post-construction settlement reduced by 80%
- Time Efficiency: Project completed 25% ahead of schedule
- Cost Savings: 30% reduction compared to alternative ground improvement methods
- Environmental Compliance: Minimal noise levels (65-75 dB at 15m distance)
