Special Foundation Engineering: Methods and Applications
Special foundation engineering stabilizes subsoil, secures excavation pits, and creates foundations in difficult ground. Berlin's glacial valley with sandy soils and high groundwater creates particular challenges.
Key Methods
1.**Bored Piles** – Transfer loads to deeper load-bearing layers. Depths up to 30 meters.
2.**Sheet Piling** – Interlocking steel profiles for watertight excavation pits.
3.**Berlin Shoring** – Steel beams with timber infill panels. Preferred in dense inner-city areas.
4.**Underpinning** – Secures existing foundations during deeper excavations. Popular for Altbau basement deepening.
5.**Injection Methods** – Cement or resin suspensions to strengthen soil or seal against groundwater.
