ABSTRACT
The construction of a quay wall is a technically and logistically complex process, so it is very important to make thorough preparations for the work. It is necessary to make choices with regard to the purchase, transport and processing of the various construction materials. The phasing of the planning and construction processes must be well defined as a basis for the deployment of numbers and types of workers, as well as for equipment. It is also necessary to investigate what supplementary works must be carried out, including the necessary paving, site accommodation, energy facilities and surveillance. For the construction of quay walls, the choice of the equipment for installation of the foundation for the earth retaining wall is an essential factor.
