The geotextile sleeve allows the accommodation of high vertical loads
by essential compensating for the lack of lateral support to the
granular columns from the soft soil. Given that the dewatering effect
of the GECs ("mega-drains") vastly speeds up consolidation times, over
90% of settlement takes place during the construction period.
Furthermore, creep settlement is reduced by up to 50% compared to
unimproved ground.
