CONSTRUCTION OF BUILDING COMPLEX FOR THE INSTITUTE OF INTEGRAL EDUCATION

Customer’s request

To lower the groundwater level for the construction pit at a depth of 6 m and to lower the local groundwater level for the elevator shaft (total depth 12 m from the 0 mark). An additional challenge for lowering the groundwater level is caused by the River Daugava, located 70 m from the construction site.

UPRENT solution

Groundwater lowering was divided into 2 stages. Initially, the groundwater was lowered to a depth of 6 m and the foundations were concreted. Later, after successful lowering of the initial level, a second groundwater lowering circuit was created, maintaining the level at a depth of 12 m and allowing the contractor to complete the construction of the elevator shaft. Thus, the desired depth of the elevator shaft was achieved and the required safety standards were met.
