Secant piled walls are embedded retaining wall structures mainly utilised to allow deep excavation in water charged ground conditions.
Using CFA – Diameters from 450mm to 1200mm.
Using Bored Piles with segmental casing- Diameters from 450mm to 1500mm.
Using Turbo Jet - Diameters from 600mm to 1200mm.
Secant piled walls are embedded retaining wall structures mainly utilised to allow deep excavation in water charged ground conditions. The walls are constructed by installing piles in a predetermined sequence. Soft (normally un-reinforced) piles are installed first followed by hard (reinforced) piles which overlap, cutting into the two soft piles on either side. Once the wall is complete the end product is a ground and water retaining wall that can also be load bearing.
This design is also suitable for retaining fine sands and very soft wet ground and may be used for cut-off walls such as cofferdams. The purpose of the secant piled wall is to ensure that the ground or composition behind the wall is securely and safely held in place despite its lateral and downward pressure against the retaining structure.
Secant pile walls can be constructed using different piling methods such as CFA, Bored Pile, Cased Secant Pile (CSP) or turbo jet (soil mixing).
Perth City Link, formerly known as the Northbridge Link, is a collaborative project funded by three tiers of Government and led by Metropolitan Redevelopment Authority and the Public Transport Authority (PTA).
The PTA’s $609 million ($360 million Rail and $249 million Bus stage) transport infrastructure work at and around Perth Station is the catalyst to bring Perth City Link's vision to life.
