Combining conventional mechanical mixing and high-pressure jet mixing.
This method combines the merits of conventional mechanical mixing with high-pressure jet mixing. It forms soil cement blocks leaving no unimproved part.

Features
Cross jet injection
With the development of cross jet injection, because the jet mixing range is limited compared to regular high-pressure jet mixing methods…
- The diameter of the improvement columns can be carefully controlled without any effect from the ground
- Unconfined compression strength of the improvement columns can be freely selected within the standard range of 0.2-3.0MN/m
- The significantly improved mixing performance gives highly efficient implementation, and uniform columns can be formed.
Composite mixing
Compared to regular mechanical mixing methods, with composite mixing…
- Installation close to existing structures or between improvement columns can be achieved reliably and easily
- Large section (more than 4 times the conventional) improvement columns can be formed.
- By stopping the cross jet injection the diameter of the improvement column can be changed at any depth as required.
