"FOUNDATION DESIGN OF
MARINE AND LAND WORKS,
CONTROL AND EVALUATION OF PILE BEARING CAPACITY AND
DYNAMIC COMPACTION EVALUATION"
GEOTECHNICAL WORKS BUDGET : 120.000 €
CLIENT: ΕΜΕΚ / HELLENIC SHIPYARDS S.A.
STARTING – COMPLETION DATE: 01/2001 – 06/2003

The
project involved the study of the marine infrastructure works for a ship-lift
system for submarines as well as the foundation design of the onshore
infrastructure for the submarine construction. The geotechnical works that the
project included were:
• Foundation Design of the ship-lift system with steel piles.
• Bearing capacity analysis of the steel piles in the ship-lift system area.
• Execution and evaluation of thirteen (13) boreholes in the onshore
infrastructure area.
• Design of soil improvement for the land establishments using the dynamic
compaction method and micropiles.
• Foundation design of the steel buildings used to repair, assembly and paint
the submarines, office buildings, etc as well as of the outdoor area where the
submarines move.
• Design of piers for the building establishments
• Bearing capacity analysis of the piers.
