Vibro Stone Columns
Ground-improvement screening for potentially compatible soils, project loads, settlement targets and delivery conditions.
Featured pathwayEARLY-STAGE FOUNDATION GUIDANCE
Instant Geotechnical & Ground Improvement Decision Engine
Triage early feasibility questions, compare potentially relevant Vibro Stone Column and piling pathways, and create a transparent preliminary desk-study record for qualified technical follow-up.
Screening information only. Not a geotechnical design or construction instruction.

THE PURPOSE
Make the early conversation more structured.
Piling Advisor helps estimators, structural engineers and project teams identify the questions that matter before committing resource to a foundation or ground-improvement pathway. It brings ground conditions, loading, delivery constraints and construction effects into one clear early-stage screen.
Its output is deliberately transparent: a ranked conversation starter, clear caveats and a route to specialist review—not a replacement for a site investigation or engineering design.
Begin the assessmentCOMPARISON FRAMEWORK
Potential pathways, viewed in context.
Each route is assessed against the information you provide. Relative cost and carbon signals are directional only and are not quotations or lifecycle calculations.
02
Deep foundations
Includes CFA, driven and mini-pile routes where verified capacity, settlement or delivery constraints may indicate a deeper solution.
03
Specialist support
Anchors, soil nails and other support approaches are treated as context-specific pathways rather than general foundation substitutes.

CLEAR LIMITS
What Piling Advisor does—and does not—do.
This public tool is designed to make an early technical discussion more productive without presenting a screening response as a design conclusion.
Is this a foundation design?
No. It is a preliminary, non-design-level information screen. A competent geotechnical and structural design process remains necessary before selection or construction.
Can it select a piling method for construction?
No. It can identify routes that may warrant investigation, but cannot confirm bearing capacity, settlement, pile dimensions, working platforms, construction methodology or temporary works requirements.
