Client requirement
Settlement stabilization and correction addressed differential settlement and overall tilt after the building had been handed over.
Engineering challenge
The occupied building required control of disturbance to the existing structure and coordination of pile-load redistribution.
Technical approach
Steel pipe piles with preloaded pile-head sealing stabilized selected areas. Symmetrical pile cutting in stages and batches on the opposite side enabled controlled settlement, with monitoring of load and center-of-gravity changes.
Project value
The work combined settlement stabilization, staged correction and pile-force analysis for an existing residential building.
