Mountain Slope Shoring & Shotcrete Stabilization for a Residential Development in Makkah
Engineering Defect Diagnosis
Pinpointing the root structural cause of cracking or corrosion before commencing remediation.
Code-Certified Materials
Utilizing certified polymer-modified mortars, structural epoxies, and aerospace-grade carbon fiber.
Transparent Scope & BOQ
Itemized breakdown of all execution steps and material bill of quantities with zero hidden costs.
Field Engineering Supervision
Specialized technical crews supervised by senior structural engineers ensuring SBC compliance.
Heavily fractured rock face immediately adjoining residential foundation excavation, presenting an imminent rockfall hazard during site construction and seasonal rainstorms.
Complete slope stabilization, total protection for neighboring buildings, and verified engineering signoff from municipal supervising authorities.
Preliminary Engineering Assessment
Rock mass rating (RMR) analysis identified unstable geological discontinuity planes requiring immediate mechanical tieback and structural face shoring.
Approved Remediation & Engineering Methodology
Installation of 3-meter galvanized rock bolts, heavy-duty wire mesh, high-pressure application of 120mm dual-layer shotcrete, and perforated groundwater weep holes.
Step-by-Step On-Site Execution Protocol
- 1 Scaling and mechanical clearing of loose boulders from the rock face.
- 2 Rotary percussion drilling, rock bolt installation, and high-strength grout encapsulation.
- 3 Fixing BRC galvanized steel wire mesh and installing subsurface drainage weep pipes.
- 4 High-velocity pneumatic shotcreting delivering dense, uniform coverage.
- 5 Continuous moist curing for 7 days ensuring design compressive strength development.
