Soil improvement methods are an important mechanized field within the construction industry in Japan. As a representative soil improvement method, the Sand Compaction Pile Method has a 30-year history and has undergone many improvements in terms of both implementation and control. In this paper, the latest improvements in the Sand Compaction Pile Method are described. These include automated operation and a revolutionary real-time feedback control system that contribute to greater precision and energy efficiency. The remarkable results of actual onsite applications are discussed.
