13. SITE ANALYSIS – construction
- coastal land reclamation consists of two layers: highly permeable
layer consisting of crushed rock fragments underneath a less permeable
layer (sand)
- land reclamation increases water level
- deep foundations have a profound impact on underground water flow
● building on reclaimed land demands ground improvement and
constant maintenance (drainages) – Source: Preliminary assessment of the impacts of deep foundations and
land reclamation on groundwater flow in a coastal area in Hong Kong, China
ASCERTAINMENTS:
● LESS CONTACT AREA WITH GROUND = LOWER COSTS FOR
CONSTRUCTION AND MAINTAINING
● BUILDING ON RECLAIMED LAND DEMANDS AT LEAST 20 % MORE
INVESTMENT THAN BUILDING ON ORDINARY LAND
