Project Description:
The Boreholes Project for the Abu Qir Sea Port Power Station involved a comprehensive geotechnical investigation to assess soil conditions and support the structural foundation design of the power facility. Given the site’s proximity to the sea, the project required specialized techniques to analyze soil composition, bearing capacity, and potential subsurface challenges.
Borehole drilling was conducted at strategic locations to extract soil samples for laboratory classification and testing. These tests included grain size analysis, moisture content determination, and strength assessments, ensuring a complete understanding of soil behavior under various load conditions. The findings were critical in determining the appropriate foundation system to enhance stability and minimize settlement risks.
Additionally, civil engineering evaluations were carried out to integrate geotechnical insights into the construction planning process. This ensured that the power station’s foundation could withstand environmental factors such as groundwater fluctuations, soil erosion, and long-term structural loads.
By applying precise surveying techniques and advanced soil characterization methods, the project provided essential data to optimize the construction and operational reliability of the Abu Qir Sea Port Power Station, contributing to Egypt’s growing energy infrastructure.
