How Deep Foundations for a 245-metre skyscraper were installed in hard rock and soft clay.

How Deep Foundations for a 245-metre skyscraper were installed in hard rock and soft clay: Results from a ground engineering case study in Gothenburg, Sweden.
Based on the Karlatornet case study in Gothenburg, this presentation intends to demonstrate how a unique foundation technology can support a 245-metre high skyscraper in complex ground conditions using large diameter segmental casing 65m deep into bedrock. This project identifies the design involved in piles that are constructed to withstand both soft clay and the extremely sloping rock at very deep depth, while also taking loads of 4500 ton per pile. The case study proves that it is possible to construct piles to withstand the weight and size of such a building, paving the way for new developments everywhere to be built without the fear of ground conditions being a limiting factor.

Thanks for sharing, I was doing the Electrical underground for Trio Electric Services out of Houston, Tx
