Geotech
Piling and Lateral Support Design Services
South Africa and various sub-Saharan African countries
ARQ Geotech works closely with Terrastrata Construction and is responsible for undertaking tender design, detailed design, input during construction as well approval of quality and monitoring documentation from construction works.
Piling projects typically entail the installation of foundation piles for various structures including multi-storey buildings, bridges, silos, cranes, warehouses, reservoirs etc. Pile types employed include self-drilling anchor (SDA) micropiles, percussion bored micropiles, large diameter ODEX piles, auger piles (open hole, underslurry and cased) and continuous flight auger (CFA) piles.
Lateral support projects typically entail providing support to retain soil and/or rock in excavations for various purpose including road cuttings, basement excavations, large foundation excavations, bridge widenings, bulk earthworks platforms, pits, box cuts, highwalls etc. Lateral support systems employed include passive systems utilizing soil nails and rock bolts with a reinforced shotcrete facing, cantilevered pile walls as well as active systems utilizing multiple rows of post-tensioned ground anchors often installed in conjunction with a pile wall (secant or soldier pile wall). Temporary as well as permanent lateral support solutions are provided depending on the project specific needs.
