A 500 MW thermal power plant was constructed on the banks of the River Beas in northwest Punjab. Geotechnical investigations found clean sand down to 30 m depth, with liquefaction potential to 10 m depth under the boiler facilities. Vibro-compaction was used to improve the ground and mitigate liquefaction. Cone penetration tests and plate load tests before and after confirmed the ground improvement. Raft and pile foundations extending below the liquefiable zone were used for heavily loaded structures like the boiler, turbine generator, and chimney. Pile capacities were computed ignoring skin friction in the liquefiable zone. The detailed investigations and ground improvement works successfully addressed the liquefaction hazards.
