Foundation of PLAZA RAKYAT- KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA
The tower is supported below basement Level B6 on a pile supported 3.5m thick reinforced concrete mat foundation.
All piles are 900mm diameter slurry piles varying in length from 22m on the exterior to 32m in the core area into the underlying Kenny Hill formation strata and are spaced at 2.7m on center. The Kenny Hill Formation is a sequence of weathered, clastic sedimentary rocks consisting of interbedded shales, mudstones, siltstones and sandstones which extend over a significant part of Kuala Lumpur City. While in Kuala Lumpur it is common to found significant high-rise buildings on limestone bedrock using bored piles or barrettes, for this project, it was decided to found the tower in the overlying Kenny Hill Formation using friction piles, provided settlement criteria were satisfied.
