Project Overview<\/strong><\/h2>\n

EZRA Group, through their Vietnamese fully owned company SOFEL, has acquired a plot of land in Vung Tau city in Vietnam. This plot of land is under development into a shipyard for the construction of barge and repair works for ships to serve the offshore oil industry. As part of this development, a quay is under construction along the sea coast.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Ground Condition<\/h2>\n

The ground to treat was made of 2 layers:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • The top layer was a medium silty sand of 6 m thick, with a qc = 5 MPa.<\/li>\n
  • The second layer, below, was a very soft clay (with organic content) of 10 m thick, with a qc = 0.4 MPa.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Then, below, is a layer of stiff to very stiff clay.<\/p>\n<\/div>

    Menard Solution<\/h2>\n

    Due to important ground displacements, Menard proposed a solution using Soil Mixing to ensure the stability of the platform during the temporary and final stage of the construction of the quay, after dredging phases.<\/p>\n

    Menard’s solution is to improve the platform stability against the wharf with Soil Mixing double columns on a 100 m platform length, 20 m wide. Those columns have been linked to the sheet piles on-shore and off-shore sides. On site, the treatment consisted of:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • 52 lines with 21 double columns of 60 cm diameter (20 m length on-shore and 2 m off-shore)
      \nperpendicular to the shore line with the sheet piles.<\/li>\n
    • 2 double line diameter 80 cm (1 on-shore and 1 off-shore) all along the shore line.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>

      Technique : Soil Mixing<\/p>\n

      Owner : Saigon Offshore Fabrication Engineering<\/p>\n

      General Contractor : SOFEL<\/p>\n

      Main Figures<\/strong><\/p>\n

      1.300 Soil Mixing double columns of 60 cm diameter each, up to 16 m length.<\/p>\n

      The starting elevation of the double columns was varying from 0 to 11.6 m below the platform level.<\/p>\n<\/div>
