Vibro-Replacement (aka Stone Columns or Aggregate Piers) using the Wet Top Feed method. This method is commonly used on sandy sites. Water flowing around the tool keeps the hole open in soils that would otherwise cave, allowing the stone backfill to be added from the ground surface.

Vibro replacement, also known as stone column technique, is a ground improvement method in geotechnical engineering that involves inserting coarse aggregate or crushed stone into weak or compressible soils through the use of a vibrating probe. The probe penetrates the soil and creates a cavity, which is then filled with stone in layers while being compacted by the vibrations. This process forms vertical stone columns that increase the load-bearing capacity of the ground, reduce settlement, and i
