Understanding PVD Construction In Detail
Prefabricated vertical drains are installed in soft cohesive soils to shorten drainage path for consolidation. The drain consists of a plastic core with longitudinal channels wrapped in non-woven filter fabric that allows water entry while preventing soil intrusion.
Water from surrounding clay flows into filter and moves vertically to a horizontal drainage blanket or sand layer placed at surface. This accelerates dissipation of pore water pressure that otherwise takes long time under surcharge loading. The method is commonly used in port areas, test facilities, embankments on reclaimed land and industrial yards.
Supply includes procurement of PVD rolls and ancillary material as per specification. Supervision includes checking layout marking, depth records, splice details and installation logs. Installation includes pushing mandrel with PVD to design depth, anchoring at bottom, withdrawing mandrel and cutting PVD at surface level with adequate projection.
Understanding RE Wall Construction In Detail
RE Wall refers to reinforced earth wall that combines precast concrete panels with reinforcement elements placed in compacted granular fill. The facing panels provide aesthetic and protective function while reinforcement resists tensile forces generated by retained soil.
Reinforcement can be metallic strips or polymeric geogrids connected to panels through connectors. Compacted fill is placed in layers and reinforcement is laid at designated elevations, creating composite mass that behaves as gravity structure. The system reduces land acquisition compared to sloped embankments and allows faster construction than conventional RCC retaining walls.
Casting involves concrete pouring in steel moulds with controlled curing to achieve panel dimensions and strength. Installation involves setting panels in sequence, aligning vertically and horizontally, connecting reinforcement and compacting backfill. Design involves checking external stability against sliding and overturning, internal stability against reinforcement rupture and pullout, and settlement analysis for foundation soil.
Ground improvement material supplied under this work enhances bearing capacity and reduces settlement beneath wall foundation. The material can include granular replacement, geosynthetics or other approved ground treatment elements as per bridge approach requirements.
