Design and Build Alternate Foundation Systems For Archean Chemical Plant, Ha-Jipir, India

The document discusses alternate foundation systems designed and built for a chemical plant in India. Vibro stone columns were installed to support lightly loaded structures over an area of 121,000 sqm. Bored cast-in-situ piles were used to support heavily loaded structures, with pile load tests conducted to confirm design capacities.

Design and Build Alternate

Foundation Systems for


Archean Chemical Plant, Ha-
jipir, India

Introduction
Archean Chemical Industries Private Limited is
constructing a Chemical Plant which consists of Sulphate
of Potash, Bromine, Cogen Plant and other anscillary
structures at Hajipir. The site is located in the Greater
Runn of Kutch of Gujarat, India. Alternate foundation
systems are proposed to economise the foundation cost
for lightly loaded structures and bored Cast-in-situ piles
are proposed for settlement sensitive structures.
Subsoil Conditions
Top 5 to 6m of the subsoil consists of soft to firm silty
clay with SPT N value 4 to 15 followed by silty sand with
SPT N value 15 to 30 to a depth of 20m below EGL.
