What are the challenges of diaphragm wall construction?
Diaphragm wall construction is a complex and challenging process that requires careful planning and execution. Some common challenges include ensuring verticality and alignment of the panels, controlling the quality and quantity of the slurry, preventing soil collapse or slurry loss during excavation, avoiding concrete segregation or bleeding during concreting, ensuring good bond between panels and joints, dealing with obstructions or interferences in the soil and minimising noise and vibration during construction.
