Project Description

Sector: Buildings

 


Client: Inmobiliaria Carso (InCarso)

 

Bogotá, Colombia

SOLUTION IMPLEMENTED
TOP DOWN
Top-down construction method

Project details:

Plaza Claro presented a significant geotechnical challenge: the construction of four basement levels in Bogotá’s soft soils, where deep excavations require strict control of ground movements and deformation.

An integrated solution was developed for the project, including 25,000 m² of diaphragm walls, deep foundations comprising 40,000 m² of barrettes with pre-founded steel columns, and the excavation of approximately 250,000 m³ beneath the slabs using the Top-down method.

The solution enabled the construction of approximately 90,000 m² of slabs across four basement levels, while excavation works were continuously monitored using nearly 100 geotechnical instruments.

The system achieved productivity rates of up to twice the local standard, making Plaza Claro a benchmark project for GEO in terms of scale, complexity and the integration of design, deep foundations, excavation and civil works.

Four basement levels constructed in Bogotá’s soft soils using a Top-down solution that achieved excavation productivity rates up to twice the local standard.
