Purpose
The UDK03 project is included in the improvement and
the expansion of Drammen station where both
platforms and railway tracks are to be re-laid. The
local conditions with operational railways,
Drammenselva and various installations in
the ground, makes the project very complex and divides it
up in several phases.
The main works for jet tracking are linked to
temporary footbridge over the river,
support structures for excavation, and
foundation reinforcement to the existing one
the station
Design
The jet piles are adapted to the various parts of the project
– Bridge foundation: Diameter of 1000mm incl
requirement of 7 MPa compressive strength is installed
with reinforcement pipe with Ø323mm
– Water sealing: in combination with sheet piles
Ø1200-2500mm jet piles installed
– Foundation reinforcement of existing ones
station construction was carried out with jet piles Ø1200-
2000mm
Execution
The project is still ongoing and only parts of it
the contract work is currently complete. lack of space,
proximity to 3rd parties and exposed environment, have set high demands
for logistics and execution. This applies to one page i
relation to the execution of jet tracking in narrow areas
and great distance between rigging facilities and
drilling point, proximity and risk of settling for
railway lines. But also handling of
The drilling mud has been given a large concentration then
The Drammenselva delimits the work area and sets
the premises for the strictest environmental considerations
