Title Hafenanbindung A27, Construction of Tunnel for transport
infrastructure
Country, City Germany, Bremerhaven
Client Magistrat der Stadt Bremerhaven; Amt für Straßen- und Brückenbau
Project span 2014 – 2019
Description It is one of the key transport infrastructure projects planned to ensure the
efficient transport connections of international port and port-related indus-
trial areas to the A27 motorway. To achieve that the current road has been
planned to go through a tunnel. For that an open excavation pit with depth
up to 16m and length of app. 1,2km has been planned.
The construction cost is approximately € 120 million.
Position in Project Project engineer
Activity Structural and geotechnical design
Duty  Design of up to 16m deep excavation supporting wall using up to 3
levels anchored / strut supported sheet pile walls, diaphragm walls
and bored pile walls.
 Design of jet grouting for underground seals.
 2D Finite element calculation using Plaxis software for deformation
prognosis.
 Analysis of hydrostatic uplift.
 Design of cofferdams.
 Design of tie rod system (GEWI) as support for excavation walls.
Title Upper West, Construction of a high-rise building
Country, City Germany, Berlin
Client STRABAG Real Estate GmbH
Project span 2013 – 2016
Description The plan is the construction of a tower block with 32 stories. The buildings
will have 4 levels of basement. The building will be founded on combined
pile raft foundation.
The building is located in Berlin with an area of about 3300m². Adjacent to
the new plot are several sensitive structures such as entrance for under-
ground tunnels and buildings. .
Position in Project Project engineer
Activity Structural and geotechnical design
Duty  Design of 15m deep excavation (up to 4 basements) with adjacent
building using multilevel supported diaphragm walls and anchored
sheet pile walls.
 Design of the complex steel structures for the struts.
 Design of propped Underpinning.

Title Die Kombilösung,Transportation Infrastructure Project
Country, City Germany, Karlsruhe
Client Karlsruher Schieneninfrastruktur Gesellschaft (KASIG)
Project span 2009 - 2018
Description As part of the infrastructure redevelopment project ‘’Kombilösung’’ light
rail tunnel is to be realized under the street of Kaiserstraße in east-west
direction in Karlsruhe. This is later to be complemented by a southern
branch.
The assignment of the Consulting Engineers has been the structural de-
sign of the excavation walls and the station buildings to create modern,
comfortable and secure underground train stations.
The construction has been planned in such a way that the interruption of
the existing transportation system would be kept to the minimum (using
cut and cover method).
The retaining wall is made up of bored pile walls and diaphragm walls.
They are supported by a reinforced concrete slab on the head and on the
foot through anchored jet-grouting support base.
Position in Project Project engineer
Activity Structural and geotechnical design
Duty  Detailed design of the permanent and temporary excavation sup-
porting structures such as bored pile walls, diaphragm walls, Sheet
pile walls, soldier walls with anchors or strut for the train stations
and the entrances.
 Preliminary and detailed design of underpinning for existing build-
ings adjacent to the excavation supporting wall.
 Preliminary and detailed design of the impermeable layer for the ex-
cavation pits with anchored under water concrete base or anchored
jet grouting.
 Finite element analysis for the jet grouted sealing and stiffening lay-
er base with Plaxis 2D.
