Project Overview
The construction of underwater transportation infrastructure often requires special attention to technical and safety issues, including the use of appropriate materials to ensure strength and water penetration resistance. The following technical requirements must be met: Concrete must be produced and delivered according to high-quality standards to ensure durability and resistance to water ingress.
Overview of Underwater Concrete
Underwater concrete pouring involves placing concrete grout into formwork submerged underwater to construct structural components in situations where constructing retaining walls and draining the water is not feasible. It is critical that water must not infiltrate the concrete mass during the pouring process.
Some Requirements and Specifications
During the construction of Ba Son Station, the joint venture contractor Shimizu - Maeda had to carry out underwater concrete works. Typically, contractors would build retaining structures and pump out water before proceeding, but in this case, the contractor proposed a direct underwater concrete pouring method, which met all the technical construction method requirements and was approved by the project owner and consultants.
Supply Capability
For this specialized product, ICCI imported it by air from Japan to supply the contractor.
The product provided by ICCI fully met all technical requirements and supply capabilities. As a result, the client highly appreciated the company's professionalism, service attitude, and 24/7 readiness to supply materials, ensuring no delays or disruptions to the project.
