I've been involved in several projects using Explosive Densification to combat soil liquefaction, its pretty dang fun.

That is, using a sequence of explosive charges to improve soil compaction by breaking bonds and driving out latent water content. It triggers a cycle of liquefaction and then compaction afterwards.
