Orientation about the project

The property consisted of a main building of 4 floors, partly on the mountain

and partly on loose masses, which had been distorted over time.

The building was extended with 2 lower floors for offices and stalls. One

building in the backyard was demolished and replaced with a new residential building

on 6 floors above ground and 3 lower floors with parking.

The construction pit required bracing, and a permanent one

refoundation to mountains was carried out, together with a

pillar wall for securing the construction pit.

Basic conditions

The terrain was flat at level C+22.6 in the backyard, and varied

from C+22 to C+13 at mountain level below the building. The reason consisted of

soft clay, with groundwater of approx. C+21.0. Challenging

ground conditions with quick clay required additional safeguards.

Prerequisites

  • Excavation plan for main building C+18.7.
  • Excavation plan for parking building C+14.5.
  • Jet pile walls dimensioned as

gravity structures.

  • Safety against overturning and horizontal displacement on

1.3.

Solution

The permanent security structure consisted of a wall

with piles down to mountains or C+17.5. To ensure stability,

two rows of piles installed with inclination. For middle

load-bearing wall, individual piles were placed under the foundation.

The excavation was carried out section by section, and concrete covers for

the parking building was cast after piling and wire sawing off

the jet pile walls.

Conclusion

Despite challenges such as difficult accessibility,

the project completed within time and budget requirements, with

technical success.
