The Challenges & Changes
Unsuitable ground conditions encountered
The project encountered several challenges during execution, notably with the ground conditions, which were unsuitable for supporting a traditional concrete raft foundation for the tanks. To address this, concrete piles were installed to stabilize the ground, ensuring the structural integrity of the tanks. Additionally, the drainage system had to be reconfigured and rerouted due to the incorporation of a new attenuation system, requiring design adjustments to manage water flow effectively and meet environmental standards. These changes were critical to ensuring the long-term success and functionality of the depot’s upgraded infrastructure.
