The project featured the ground improvement works using the Dynamic Compaction process, a soil densification technology first brought by CTC in Ras Al Khaimah. The total built-up area of the plot is 314,000 m2 and was completed in only 3 months time.

Description
 
The process involved series of passes. During each pass, the weight (heavy weight pounder) is dropped repeatedly in a predetermined grid pattern. The distance between the compaction points is normally decreased in the subsequent passes and compaction is carried out in-between the previously compacted points. The final pass, usually performed with low compaction energy, is carried out with a reduced drop height. The objective is to densify the superficial soil layers without remolding the already densified deeper layers.
 
In return, work on soil improvements will be more cost effective because it will reduce foundation cost and provide the contractor a faster lead time in completing the project. This is what CTC is continuously doing- to bring innovative solutions to benefit its customers.
