Lakhta Center. Zero Cycle. Pile Foundation

260 piles (+ 4 test piles) mounted on firm soil will bear the main loading from Lakhta Center Tower. Here at a depth of 20m-25m a layer of very firm Vendian clay occurs which serves as a subbase for the foundation. Property-wise Vendian clay is similar to rock. Drilling rigs passed underground a distance equal to 25 storeys and drilled wells 82m deep and 2m in diameter. The Construction segment BAUER Spezialtiefbau GmbH executes foundations, excavation pits, cut-off walls and ground improvement all over the world. ----- Official website of project Lakhta Center - http://lakhta-center.info ----- Russian version this movie -    • Строительство "Лахта Центра". Свайное осно...
