Preventing Damage to Environmental Structures

Construction can have adverse effects on environmental structures, which is why it’s crucial to strive to prevent their damage. Before commencing construction work, it’s essential to assess how the activities may impact environmental structures and how to preserve them. We develop a carefully planned construction plan that includes measures to prevent damage to environmental structures.

The plan specifically considers sensitive areas and structures in the environment. We utilize various techniques and methods, such as vibration measurements and structural support, to ensure that construction activities do not cause harm to environmental structures. We aim to strike an optimal balance between construction and environmental protection to minimize damage and maintain the integrity of environmental structures.

Environmental monitoring measurements

In a detailed excavation plan, we consider the sensitive structures and equipment in the environment. Vibration limits are defined as the basis for planning. We also conduct vibration measurements during excavation and piling work. For excavation, we seek the most economical, functional, and timely solution while minimizing risks. When building on soft areas, we monitor environmental movements using inclinometer measurements and also conduct pore pressure measurements.
