ABSTRACT: A proposed Electric Vehicle (EV) assembling facility, located in the Eastern Seaboard of Thailand, required soil improvement to enhance the mechanical properties of the clayey sands (SC). Albeit not the ideal soils for energy densification, Dynamic Compaction (DC) + Prefabricated Vertical Drains (PVD's) were chosen as the most suitable Soil Improvement technique to increase the strength ...
In March 2019, we started the supply and installation of vertical wick drains for the expansion of the Manzanillo port, located at the pacific coast, in Mexico. ...
The tunneling project is done by combination group BAAK (Ballast Nedam and DEME) who awarded CeTeau BV with the installation of Vertical Drainage at the Northern tunnel entrance. The Wick drains need to be installed from a pontoon. For this we use our New Hitachi ZX490 with GPS monitoring and guidance to install CeTeau Vertical ...
Vertical Drainage for a rail extension project at the Aalborg Airport, CeTeau installed 135.000 meters to a maximum depth of 11,00 ...
The Gemas–Johor Bahru Electrified Double-Tracking Project aims at constructing an electric rail line. Its completion will ensure a continuous double-track line across Malaysia from Padang Besar at the Thai border all the way up to Johor Bahru, adjacent to Singapore. Ceteau installed its PVD on a narrow platform: a challenging but satisfying ...
With CeTeau´s unique and specifically designed PVD rig, the high voltage power lines crossing the road alignment, do not form an obstacle to install our vertical wick drains. The PVD project contributed to an important bridge-link with a total length of 7.3km, connecting Tanjung Bin to Tanjung Pelepas in Johor, Malaysia. ...
The year of 2018 brought us challenging projects; in particular, for the first time in Malaysia & Far East, CeTeau had the opportunity to complete the installation of 14-mt depth PVD´s under the live 275 kV High Voltage power lines to complete several sections of the Maju Expressway Highway Extension. Hence, using our specially designed CeTeau’s Low Overhead Adapted Rig, we were ...
A fast track project, Supply & Installation of CeTeau PVD for Peam Te Bridge in Krati, Kracheh, Cambodia. The biggest challenges we faced were the available time & the local circumstances to install 42,000 meters of PVD for our client Hazama Ando Cooperation, Japan to stay within the project schedule. The ground improvement was realized on both sides of the river using our CTC-19 ...
Vertical Drainage for a rail extension project at the Aalborg Airport, CeTeau installed 135.000 meters to a maximum depth of 11,00 ...
CeTeau has completed the second phase of a large soil improvement project in Port Dickson, Malaysia for the Jimah East Power Plant Project. CeTeau has installed approximately 1 million meter Prefabricated Vertical Drains (PVD) to a depth of 25 meter in less than one month time by using two rigs. The original site was a swamp area and the soil needed to be improved before building of the ash pond ...

Around the coastal place of Weston Super Mare, a new high way extention will be built. The object is to create a roundabout around the touristic ...
Close to Leipzig, Germany, CeTeau is working for a Germany client by installing vertical drains around gravel piles. The combination of gravel pile a vertical drainage creates a rock-solid foundation for the elevation of a highway route (the gravel piles are drilled into the pleistocene sand). However, the top 4-meter base layer consists of hard clay with boulders. Therefore, we have to pre-drill ...
2 fully automatic CeTeau vertical drainage machines are installing CeTeau CT-D1008 drains to a depth of 5.50 meters on extremely soft peaty soil with GPS near the Dutch city Weesp. ...
CeTeau completed soil improvement for the Dhaka Mass Rapid Transit Development project in Bangladesh. The works were part of the Dhaka Metro Rail Line-6, which will provide a 20 km Metro Rail system for Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh, which is one of the most highly populated and traffic congested cities in the world. The project will reduce traffic congestion and improve air pollution in the ...
A Russian client urged CeTeau to help them to install Wick Drains to a depth of 11,00 meters on a mining expansion project. The equipment that's used to blow air in the enormous underground Potash mines had to be constructed on very soft soil which needed to be stabilized faster than originally planned. With the help of Vertical ...
The Eurotunnel between France and UK is an extremely busy tunnel which is operated by trains. To create more loading and unloading capacities on the French´side, it has been decided to extend the loading and unloading platforms. Therefore, CeTeau hs been asked by its French agent Inclusol to install wick drains to a depth up to 8,00 meters below ...
The compressibility of soft Bangkok clay preloaded with an instrumented test embankment was studied using the results of a series of in-situ and laboratory tests. In the field, eight screw plate and eight pressuremeter tests were performed at four test levels in the subsoil. In the laboratory, twelve Rowe cell consolidation tests were carried out. The method of Asaoka (1978) was used in ...
