Hi,

I'm working in Soil Improvement Proposal in Sri Lanka.
The land was reclamated on 4m thick peat (N value about 3) and swamp, using beach sand 2m thick (N value about 7). Below peat stratum there exists 6 m thick silty clay (N value about 8 to 16). Weathered rock is 16m below ground level.

Is there any body to tell me about local practice and/or availability of equipement for soil improvement in Sri Lanka.

I'm now considering Paper Drain.

Any comments on Sri Lanka would be very much helpful to me.
