LTD. | JURONG ISLAND, SINGAPORE The key to Singapore's success as a hub of the chemical industry lies on Jurong Island, an artificial island consisting of seven small islands. German chemical company Evonik has embarked on the construc­tion of a new methionine production facility to enhance its global market position in animal nutrition. The new plant construc­tion project on a 17 ha site on Jurong Island, an artificial island off the coast of Singapore, is the Essen-based company’s largest single investment so far at €500 million. ha area in situ concrete displace­ment piles vibro compaction points The difficult subsoil posed a consid­er­able challenge to the construc­tion project, and Evonik chose CDM Smith for our expertise in geot­ech­ni­cal project support. Apart from soil studies, foundation consulting and construc­tion management on site, we prepared the basic engineering for soil improvement for the loosely deposited, heaped seabed material towards safely satisfying the structural require­ments for the new individual building complexes. The detailed engineering stage involved studying the load-bearing and deformation behaviour in the building foundations using finite-element analysis on a three-dimensional geot­ech­ni­cal calculation model. The model represents the structural elements playing the main role in load transfer in addition to the site and foundation structure. With the individual foundation opti­mi­sa­tion for the various building complexes, the number of the originally planned piles could be signif­i­cantly reduced. This lowered the start-up costs signif­i­cantly. RUDOLF WERNECKE, SENIOR PROJECT MANAGER Individual foundation opti­mi­sa­tion for various building complexes helped signif­i­cantly cut down the number of piles initially planned, which also helped substan­tially reduce the costs of the foundation. Evonik involved us early on in this project, as well as for basic engineering in later major projects.
