The “Achrafieh Lot #981” building in Achrafieh consists of an 11 stories concrete building with 3 basements. The lot is surrounded by residential buildings from two sides and by roads on the other two sides. The excavation needed for the new building was about 10m deep. Int’l I.G.M. proposed and constructed vertical piles system coupled with a vertical concrete wall (10cm to 20cm). In the horizontal direction, four rows of active anchors and passive nails, with spacing 2 to 3m were installed to retain the excavated sides and minimize any movement of the adjacent structure or infrastructures. The piles were 60cm in diameter with 0.7m to 1.2m spacing c/c.
