Construction—EMEA—Saudi-Arabia—Excavations
On the one hand, it served to stabilize
the excavation, and on the other hand, it
served as buoyancy control for the building.
For this purpose, DSI Construction
Germany produced and supplied 1,183
double corrosion protected, 63.5mm Ø
GEWI ® Plus Tension Piles. In addition,
to prevent uplift, 997 double corrosion
protected, 75mm Ø GEWI ® Plus Micropiles
were used in the station floor slab.
Due to the fact that the station had to be
completely impermeable, DSI developed
watertight special solutions for both systems
in cooperation with the contractor.
DSI engineers continuously supervised
and checked the correct installation of the
systems.
