Diaphragm Walls

Advanced Solutions for Deep Excavations and Marine Structures

Diaphragm Walls

Overview

Diaphragm walls are essential for deep excavations, providing long-term support and stability for structures such as basements, underground stations, tunnels, and marine facilities.

These reinforced concrete walls are constructed in-situ, offering exceptional strength and impermeability, making them ideal for use in challenging soil conditions and environments with high water tables. Our diaphragm wall solutions ensure the structural integrity of your project, even in the most demanding conditions.

Key Features of Diaphragm Walls

Structural Strength​

Diaphragm walls are highly resistant to lateral earth and water pressures, making them ideal for deep excavations in both urban and marine environments. Their ability to withstand large loads ensures the stability of nearby buildings and infrastructure.

Waterproofing

One of the primary benefits of diaphragm walls is their ability to create watertight barriers, making them essential for projects in areas with high groundwater levels or near bodies of water. This characteristic makes them ideal for marine infrastructure, ports, and water treatment plants.

Space Efficiency

Diaphragm walls allow for vertical construction within a limited footprint, making them suitable for densely populated urban areas or confined spaces where minimizing disruption to the surrounding environment is critical

Permanent Structures

In many projects, diaphragm walls can serve as part of the permanent structural system, reducing the need for additional foundation work and accelerating project timelines

Applications of Diaphragm Walls​

Marine and Coastal Structures

Diaphragm walls are frequently used in the construction of docks, quay walls, and other marine structures where resistance to water pressure is critical. They provide essential stability for waterfront developments, ensuring protection against soil erosion and wave action

Water Retention and Dams

Diaphragm walls are ideal for projects involving water retention, such as dams, reservoirs, or flood protection systems. Their impermeability ensures the containment of water, protecting both infrastructure and the environment

Deep Excavations

Whether for underground stations, basements, or tunnels, diaphragm walls provide reliable support for deep excavations, even in areas with challenging ground conditions or heavy urban development

 

 

Foundation Walls

In high-rise buildings and large infrastructure projects, diaphragm walls are often used as foundation walls, providing lateral support while also acting as a key structural element of the project

Diaphragm Wall Construction Process

Site Preparation

We begin by conducting a thorough analysis of soil conditions and site constraints to determine the most efficient design and construction method for the diaphragm wall

Trench Excavation

Using specialized excavation equipment, we create a trench in the soil, which is immediately filled with a bentonite slurry to prevent the trench from collapsing

Reinforcement Installation

Steel reinforcement cages are then lowered into the trench to enhance the structural strength of the wall

Concrete Pouring

High-quality concrete is pumped into the trench, displacing the slurry and forming the final diaphragm wall

Post-Construction Monitoring

After the wall is constructed, we perform rigorous monitoring to ensure that it meets all structural and safety requirements, including stability, waterproofing, and load-bearing capacity

Benefits of Our Diaphragm Wall Solutions

Cost-Effective​

Diaphragm walls serve both temporary and permanent structural needs, reducing overall project costs by eliminating the need for additional foundations or temporary retaining structures
