| Summary: | In land-scarce Singapore, almost all the high-rise building construction and largescale
major civil engineering works like Expressway and Mass Rapid Transit System
(MRT) require deep excavation.
Various types of vertical wall systems such as soldier pile walls, contiguous bored
pile walls, secant pile walls and diaphragm walls are commonly used in deep excavation
for basement car park and cut and cover tunnel construction for Expressways and MRT
underground stations. Reinforced soil method and soil nailing are used to stabilize the
vertical cut slopes in some places. |
