Project Description:
CSI Energy (Kenya) required a 10m long retaining wall for their Geothermal Power Plan in Naivasha, Kenya. EA Piling was able to swiftly mobilise staff, equipment, and the sheet piles to site from Nairobi to complete the works.
The sheet pile retaining wall was made of AZ20-800 sections from ArcelorMittal and were 12m long each. The sheet piles were installed to a depth of 12m using a PTC HFV17 vibro-hammer.
The entire 10m length of the sheet pile wall was completed to specification within a few days. EA Piling continues to prove itself to be the sheet piling contractor of choice in East Africa.
