DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT:

Malaiwana is a private luxury estate set in an area of outstanding nearby Naithon Beach. There are comprises 19 magnificent estate villa. Malaiwana Park Development Co.,Ltd. appointed IEC as their designer for the project on foundation, earth work as well as the remedial measure work for failed slope. Ground investigation has been performed including soil boring and resistivity test as specific the method by IEC.

The foundation on inclined ground has been analysis and design by using the special pile foundation together with reinforcing slope. Moreover, to maintain natural terrain of the ground or for many reasons with conserving slope stability and implemented effectively to overcome failure problems by consideration in term of land cost effectiveness as called Value Engineering Design.

SCOPE OF SERVICES:

Analysis and detailed engineering design of the civil, structural works, and geotechnical work. The activities on geotechnical/failure investigation for slope work by study its behavior and identify the failure mechanisms of slope. Subsequently, design for the foundation on steep slope (80 degree approx.) and slope stability checking for prevention or remedial measures work.

KEY FACTORS:

·         Geotechnical design of foundation on inclined natural slope

·         Slope stabilization

·         Slope protection

·         Reinforcing Slope

·         Soil nailing and horizontal drain

·         Micro bored pile
