Abstract

Ground movement occurred on the banks of the river in Padang which has been protected by steel sheetpile which borders the Factory property. Indications of ground movement are detected through visual observations. It was also reported that the day before the incident there had been continuous rain until the next day. Based on the results of the technical drilling, it appears that the soil density becomes lower after 10m depth. There is a layer of sandy silt with a soft to medium consistency at a depth of about 18m to 26m. With soil conditions that are dominated by sandy soil, the risk of scouring due to river flow is one of the things that needs to be considered. Landslides occur gradually because changes in river flow patterns gradually changed due to internal and external factors. Internal factors are caused by the flow and behavior of the river itself, while external factors are the activity of mining of sand material around the riverbanks. Along with the swift river flow, especially during flood water conditions, the layers of soil material move and are washed away by the flow of water so that there is a gap between the sheetpile and the original soil. These conditions cause the passive resistance of the sheet pile to gradually decrease and to experience deformation due to the pushing of the soil material that has experienced a movement. Important findings in the investigation is that the very soft clay layer underneath the sandy layers was not detected prior to the investigation.

Abstract

To achieve the design elevation from the existing ground level, an embankment work with a thickness of 8-10 meters thick on the slope should be conducted considering both the safety aspect as well as the economic aspect. Based on the conceptual drawing by Contractor, the embankment will sit on the slope without any grading works. The drawing shows that the embankment will be constructed directly on the existing slope. Any fill work on the original slope without any proper reinforcement will cause stability issues.  The discussion about the embankment area construction concept has come up with some options such as the use of a slab-on-pile system and the use of a combination sheet pile - bore piles and the use of mini piles under the embankment. Based on further discussion with Contractor and Owner about the technical aspect and construction cost required, it is recommended to construct an embankment with lightweight material (geofoam). The use of lightweight geofoam is a suitable solution to be considered. Another advantage of using geofoam is that the construction period is faster than conventional methods. Geofoam installation work already started on November 2022. On February 2023, the geofoam slope construction finished.
