Project Description
I need a complete shoring scheme for a two-basement excavation in the UAE, developed and verified in both Wallap and Plaxis 2D. The intent is clear: the shoring must safely support the sand excavation while guaranteeing adequate load-bearing capacity for the basement walls and slabs.
Scope of work
• Build the conceptual and detailed Wallap model, optimise pile/anchor spacing, and extract all relevant bending moments, shear forces, and deflection results.
• Replicate the final layout in Plaxis 2D to validate soil–structure interaction, ground movement, and overall stability. Any discrepancies between the two platforms should be reconciled and explained.
• Translate the approved design into a concise Bill of Quantities that lists piles, anchors, walers, struts, concrete volumes, and reinforcement weights ready for tender.
Acceptance criteria
• Factor-of-safety and serviceability checks meet UAE code requirements.
• Maximum lateral displacement remains within allowable limits demonstrated in Plaxis output.
• BOQ items align with the final drawings and calculation sheets.
Deliverables
1. Calculation report (Wallap & Plaxis printouts + design narrative) in PDF.
2. Editable model files (.wal, .plx).
3. Drawings (DWG + PDF).
4. BOQ in Excel, itemised and cross-referenced to drawings.
If you have recent UAE experience with sand sites and are comfortable toggling between Wallap and Plaxis, this should flow smoothly. I’m available to clarify soil parameters, load data, or authority submittal formats whenever needed, and I’ll review milestones promptly so we can keep the project moving.
