Six-Level Underground Excavation, Bangkok

A Site Near Siam Paragon Shopping Complex Bangkok is known for very soft soil which is generally compared with London, Mexico and Taipei. The soil is so soft that even a two-story residential house needs about 20-25m deep pile foundation. This complexity is amplified by other factors such as location of site in densely populated city zones and the depth of the excavation. In this case, PLAXIS 3D was used to carry out detailed GeoTech analysis and design. There are very stringent regulations about environmental impact, insurances, working hours, etc. in CBD areas.
