The Bank Audi New Building consists of a commercial center, 3 stories high with 2 basements, in Hadath, Lebanon. The empty plot at North and North West side was excavated in inclination and covered with plastic sheets to prevent rain water erosion, which minimizes the needs for shoring works. Exception is made towards the West and South sides that were excavated about 7m in depth in a medium hard marly soil. IIGM executed a well designed shoring system consisting of Micropiles spaced 150cm c/c, with 1 row of high strength pre-stressed anchors spaced at 3m. The anchors were tensioned against a rigid concrete beam connecting all micropiles and the cuts were shotcreted thereafter.
