Process

Keller can design and deploy solutions to meet specific soil conditions and client requirements.

Typical solutions include:

  • When executed on the shore line, the wharf can be made as a concrete deck on piles with a slope protected by revetment below the deck
  • When executed into the sea, the wharf can be made of a combi wall retained by anchors into a reclaimed platform. In this case the reclaimed platform may need soil improvement by vibro compaction.
  • When executed into natural or reclaimed land, the wharf can be made of a concrete diaphragm wall.
