Bridge pier foundations, Lucknow

The brief

What made this one difficult

The river bed was workable for five months only. Eleven pier foundations had to be complete before the monsoon reached the working platform.

Boulder horizons at 12–18 m had stopped a previous contractor.

What we did

The package, step by step

One contractor from the borelog to the final test certificate.

  1. Platform & access

    Bunded working platform designed for machine loads and a defined evacuation trigger.

  2. Barrettes

    Forty-four barrettes at 2.8 × 1.0 m to 34 m, two rigs working in parallel.

  3. Boulder handling

    Chiselling regime agreed and priced up front instead of claimed later.

  4. Integrity testing

    Cross-hole sonic logging on every barrette before the platform came out.

“Two rigs, five months and no claim for the boulders. That was the whole risk on this package.”
