Casagrande B175XP-2 and C9XP at work on the quay in Marghera (Venice, Italy), supporting the extension of the port infrastructure.
The Casagrande B175XP-2 is executing bored piles to ensure deep foundation strength, while the Casagrande C9XP is performing jet grouting for soil consolidation and water sealing beneath the quay structure. Both machines confirm Casagrande’s ability to deliver precision and reliability in marine-adjacent construction sites.
Bored piles are deep foundation elements created by drilling a vertical shaft and filling it with reinforced concrete. This method is particularly suitable for supporting heavy loads and minimizing vibration, making it ideal for sensitive or urban waterfront environments.
Jet grouting is a soil improvement technique that uses high-pressure jets of grout to mix with in-situ soil, forming columns of solidified material. It is commonly used for ground strengthening, seepage control, and improving the bearing capacity of soft or heterogeneous soils.
