Lot 1731 Roumieh - Roumieh -

(September 2001 - December 2001)

The Structure on lot 1731 is an existing residential building in Roumieh. The building was erected on a 50° sloped terrain. The nature of the soil in this region is mainly cemented sand highly erodable by water.  

The building was jeopardized by a slope stability problem due to underground water seepage and Seismic considerations.

I.G.M. proposed installing under the existing Mat Foundation, about 130 steel API Micropiles with high pressure injection and Pre-compression.  In addition a peripheral drainage system around the building was installed, and about 180 meter long retaining walls with anchors were constructed on the downhill side.
