Helical Anchors, Inc. Installer - EMIN GEOESTRUCTURAS S.A.C., was Hired by GRUPO COBRA S.A. to Design and Install (7) Helical Piles to Support a Large Contaminated Water Tank in South America
Key Benefits:
Due to the condition of the PetroperúRefinery in Talara, having various pipes in overhead gutters, the space for maneuverability of machinery was minimal and a suitable solution was needed for the reduced space and equipment capable of providing the necessary capacity.
November, 2020
Project conditions and requirements: Helical Piles were installed to support a contaminated water tank. The soil consisted of liquefiable sands and soft clays, for which it was necessary to use some type of soil reinforcement or deep foundation. In addition to high seismic parameters, there was a need to make a design that was capable of supporting 29 tons of shear force.
Engineering and Versatility: a special termination cap was design, creating a cross section able to withstand the lateral loads without major problems.
