DIAPHRAGM WALLS

Notes Diaphragm walls are the construction of vertical walls, cast in place in a trench excavation. They can be formed in reinforced concrete to provide structural elements for temporary or permanent retaining walls. Wall thicknesses of 500mm to 1.50m and up to 40m deep may be constructed. Special equipment such as the Hydrofraise can construct walls up to 100m deep. Restricted urban sites will significantly increase the costs.
