Abstract:This paper presents a comprehensive study on groundwater control technologies for an ultra-large deep excavation engineering in soft soil deposits of an urban area, based on a case study in Shanghai with an excavation area of 109,000 m2. The critical aspects and specific requirements for groundwater prevention and control in ultra-large deep excavation are identified through the analysis of the hydrogeological conditions and engineering characteristics of the site. With the consideration for both safety and cost-effectiveness in large deep excavation engineering, the research focuses on several key technologies: the methodology for partitioning the large deep excavation and arranging dewatering wells, anti-seepage techniques for the retaining structure, groundwater treatment for local deep excavation zone(Pit-in-Pit), and dewatering procedures during the excavation process. This study provides a valuable case analysis for groundwater control in ultra-large deep excavations in soft soil regions.
