Hotel Leela
Project: Hotel Leela, Chennai
Details: A 15 meter deep pit had to be excavated to locate a parking
lot and a service basement on 2 levels.
Challenge: The side walls were to be protected from collapsing.
Solution: The side walls were stabilized by constructing secant piles
in the sandy strata. The piles were anchored to the
surrounding land by providing prestressed anchors with a
capacity of 150 tonne. Freyssinet 10K15 tendons of varying
length (35 to 45 meter) were used.
The job of anchoring about 350 tendons was completed in 4
months flat!
