Abstract
This paper will provide an overall description of the Block 76 project and discuss the approach for the selection of the earth retention systems employed on the site. In addition, the location and reasoning behind the use of underpinning and jet grouting will be discussed. A detailed account of the installation of the earth retention, underpinning and water cutoff systems will be provided. Soil conditions encountered at the site will also be discussed. Predicted versus actual earth retention wall movements will be presented. In closing a brief summary will be provided with regards to the 24" (600mm) diameter, 450tn capacity augercast piles currently in place for the new structure that is taking shape.
