The Challenge
The site, located in the GV02 zone of the New Administrative Capital, required deep excavation for basements. Variable soil layers (fill, silty Sand, sandy clay) and nearby sensitive structures meant that a reliable shoring system was critical to ensure stability, safety, and compliance with Egyptian Code 202/2001.
Our Approach
Our team designed a tailored shoring system using soldier piles with timber lagging and ground anchors, supported by advanced PLAXIS modelling to confirm stability and safety. The solution balanced structural performance with construction practicality, ensuring safe excavation, controlled displacements, and compliance with Egyptian standards, while also optimising material use and project costs.
