Predrilling and Shoring Beam Installation – Liwan

Project overview

Super Arc Engineering Construction (SAEC) predrilled and installed shoring beams for an excavation at Liwan for Groundtech Piling & Foundation Contracting.

Scope of work

Predrilling for the shoring beams.

Installation of the shoring beams.

Value delivered

Predrilling allowed the shoring beams to be set to depth so excavation could proceed safely.

Engineering context

Shoring beams must reach the required depth to support an excavation. Where the ground is too hard to drive them directly, predrilling can provide the path while limiting damage to the beams.
