Project Description

Gateway Residences Park Royal is a mixed-use development in West Vancouver consisting of two fourteen-storey concrete towers founded above a three-level underground parkade. Its location, placing the towers adjacent to both robust natural attractions and the urban hub of Park Royal mall, make it a desired place of residence.

Our Role

RAM’s geotechnical team was involved in design of temporary support for an 11-metre-deep temporary excavation in high groundwater conditions. To maintain excavation stability and mitigate groundwater seepage, RAM’s geotechnical team developed a temporary cut-off structure design comprising tied back shotcrete shoring and 440 jet grout columns measuring one metre in diameter and up to seventeen metres in length.

Other services that our team provided included:

  • Site investigation;
  • Excavation shoring design;
  • Difficult groundwater design solutions;
  • Construction field reviews.
