ABSTRACT: The paper presents the results of ground monitoring during the installation of stone columns in granular soils in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia and discusses the levels of ground vibrations and surface settlement associated with this particular ground improvement technique. Data from two study sites are presented and compared with existing published data. El articulo presenta los resultados de monitoreo durante la instalacion de columnas de peidra en suelos granulares en la provincia de British Columbia, Canada. Se presentan datos de dos sitios y se evaluan los resultados basado en informacion publicada en la literatura tecnica.
