Technology Overview. Rammed Aggregate Piers are a patented/proprietary ground improvement system that uses compacted aggregate to create stiff pier elements. The installation process modifies the soil surrounding the piers.
Foxfire, also sometimes called fairy fire, is the bioluminescence created by some species of fungi present in decaying wood. The bluish-green glow is attributed to luciferase, an oxidative enzyme, which emits light as it reacts with luciferin.
The oldest recorded documentation of foxfire is from 382 B.C., by Aristotle, whose notes refer to a light that, unlike fire, was cold to the touch. The Roman thinker Pliny the Elder also mentioned glowing wood in olive groves.
