Abstract
The Edinburgh St James development is a mixed-use development with 850,000 sq ft. of retail space, 150 residential units, hotel, leisure and car parking facilities scheduled for completion in 2020. Construction of the centreβs 20,000 sq. m three-storey basement car park has been one of the most demanding aspects of the project. This talk will discuss the geotechnical challenges encountered which have led to a number of unusual and interesting ground retention solutions to provide support to perimeter walls up to 22m deep.
Series This talk is part of the Cambridge University Geotechnical Society (CUGS) - Seminar Series series.
