We too go on pilgrimage
Diaphragm wall/sealed wall
In-situ concrete diaphragm walls, manufactured using the two-phase method for "watertight" excavations, offer the possibility of integrating the diaphragm wall as a load-bearing component in the final structure.
Why do we "pilgrimage"?
In the pilgrim step process, after a beginner's slat (primary slat) has been made, the next but one slat is made as a beginner's slat again. This is followed by the intermediate closer lamella (secondary lamella). The primary and secondary lamellas have different dimensions due to the shuttering tubes in the primary lamellas. You can find more information on this in the brochures in the navigation area Procedures.
Diaphragm walls/sealed walls
Sealed walls constructed using the single-phase method with inserted sheet piling or beams can also be provided for "watertight" excavations. The sheet pile wall or the girders are the vertical load-bearing elements and extend to the statically required depth below the bottom of the excavation. The cut-off wall as a sealing element extends to the artificial sealing base or ties into a natural water dam.
