Basement Construction
Foundation
Foundation is located
within gravel which has a
high bearing capacity. Pad
foundations will be used.
Main advantages include:
Little excavation is
required
Suitable for tight site
Basement
Retaining Wall
areas
Economical
Advantages of secant piles:

Concreting

Steel
Cage
Installation

Water table is approximately just below

basement so piles will give added
waterproof security.
Quickly constructed and cheap to
produce.
Little vibration is created during the
construction.
Hence minimum impact is caused to
surrounding.

Construction:

CFA rigs are used to drill and pump

Secondary Piles

Site Constraints

Materials Delivery:

Delivered by trucks during times with

minimum traffic disruption.
Traffic and entry to the work area is
controlled during delivery times.
Trucks and vehicles must use main
roads for safety.
Plan storage areas to minimize
disruption.

Materials Storage:

Plan deliveries to keep the amount of

materials on site to a minimum.
Storage containers or temporary
warehouses can be used for on-site
storage.
Storage containers are more
preferable since they can be stacked,
hence reducing storage space.
