Abstract: This publication presents the appropriate methodologies utilized for soil enhancement in heavy industries, oil and gas refineries, and petrochemical facilities. The materials and processes will be elaborated upon within this document, with any deviations from the specifications clearly noted. The primary focus of the work involves the placement of sand and gravel, along with the injection of soil cement at specified cavity locations beneath the concrete grade slab, particularly in areas where space is constrained, and ground access is difficult. The proposed approach seeks to fill the gaps between the top of the foundation soil and the underside of the slabs, while ensuring the availability of all essential equipment, tools, and a proficient workforce for geotechnical tasks. Each testing site, including DCP Testing, void detection, and the installation of shallow monitoring wells, will be addressed in accordance with the unique conditions of the site.
