Strengthening the Ground Using Vibro Compaction

Season 1 Episode 2

Before construction can begin, the sand must be compacted using "vibro compaction."

Before construction can begin on the Heart of Europe resort, the sand must be compacted using “vibro compaction,” a method used to create a denser soil by moving the sand particles closer together. This helps strengthen the ground for the concrete foundations of the buildings planned for construction on each of the six islands.
