The Geopier Impact® Rammed Aggregate Pier® (RAP) system was used on the Leslie Barns Storage and Maintenance Facility in Toronto and sped up the project timelines significantly.

The RAP system also provided for radial drainage elements that served the dual purpose of draining the soil during preloading and for providing long-term settlement control and support to the new fill and track slabs.
