An apparatus and method for ground improvement includes a device having a plurality of tines extending downwardly from a top plate in a manner to achieve displacement of ground material downward and radially outward. The tines may include ridges spaced vertically along an outer surface of the tines. The tines may also be in the form of opposing plates. The device is mechanically driven into the ground to achieve predetermined depths of penetration by the tines/plates. The device is retracted and driven repeatedly to achieve densification. Optionally, voids made by the device can be filled with a flowable media.

A vibrator arrangement for building soil improvement includes a sluice with a silo tube and a sluice drive for moving the sluice. The sluice is adapted to receive a bulk material and to guide the bulk material into the silo tube. A feed container for feeding the bulk material to the sluice is included and a feed container drive is provided for moving the feed container between a waiting position and an abutment position at the sluice. Also, a method for transferring bulk material from a feed container into a sluice with a silo tube of a vibrator device includes moving the sluice with a sluice drive and moving the feed container filled with the bulk material a between a waiting position and an abutment position at the sluice while the sluice is moving.

The system, method and apparatus described relates generally to a method of Direct Power Compaction (DPC). In one example embodiment to methods, apparatus, and systems to compact loose ground by vibration and compaction of H piles driven by vibrators or drivers (vibro-hammer). The DPC method is an efficient and highly economical technique for densifying loose soils. In the procedure piles, with an innovative H pattern structure, are driven in the ground using a combination of downward and vibratory force to move particles of the loose or sandy soil closer together and reduce the voids between them. Subsequent backfilling and vibration at the H-pile sites achieves the highest density possible and provides for an improvement ground soil structure and load bearing capacity.
