Diaphragm wall monitoring

Here we are, facing the description of one of the most dangerous elements of the building processes – monitoring the complexity of the stable condition of the wall, resulting from the construction works. It is an impossible thing to exclude within the post-projecting phase, the excavation of the deep foundation site for the basement of the building.

Typically, there is taken into consideration the kind of relief and the type of soil(s) where the excavation is done. The data of the preliminary surveys must indicate the length, width and depth of the placement of the required efforts. Hereafter, it is needed to calculate the eventual diaphragm of the wall, taking into account, the pressure to be exercised on the wall, the side, upper and the resistance forces of the wall. The sorts of materials and construction elements represent the next point for a resistant wall building. These parameters can be obtained if to consult construction engineers and following all steps of a qualitative, and that means, safe modality of raising the wall, as an element of a complex building. The process of inspection and performance monitoring is all good along the whole period of construction. The first stage for checking the wall durability consists of, so called, creep tests which permit the specialists to determine whether the wall is prepared for loads during the building period of time, first of all. Additionally, an important element, which is widely used all around the world, is mechanically fortified ground method. It offers a great possibility to ensure a safe raising and fixing of the walls of the skyscrapers. Here, it is used the procedure of reinforcement for bringing to the project condition of the ground or strengthening the already existing basement of the wall, for instance. Everything goes to make the wall secure and the geotechnical tieback is not an exception, helping to produce a secure structure. Plus to the above-stated, it is worth enumerating such techniques, like: gabion (a box filled with rocks, sand, concrete, soil to fortify the basement, used to enforce bridges, banks of the rivers, docks, stationary platforms, helicopter or aircraft spots, grounds for military purposes etc.); slurry wall (double-forced wall, depending on the position referred to the cardinal points and the quality of the materials) etc. Well, our company comes to you not just give you hints, but do the best of the works!
