Project summary
Geotechnical surveys on an offshore platform with a view to extending the container terminal of the North Quay at the Port of Valencia.
The fieldwork carried out during the survey involved:
- Drilling 840 linear metres of boreholes with continuous sample extraction.
- Performing 1360 linear metres of CPTu testing with the corresponding interstitial pressure dissipation tests.
- Performing in-situ tests, such as vane shear tests and pressure gauges.
- Performing laboratory tests on soil samples (granulometric analysis, determination of Atterberg limits, dry density, moisture, specific particle weight, maximum and minimum density).
- Performing chemical analyses for sulfates, chlorides and organic matter content.
