This project involves the construction of a multi-storey residential building featuring one basement, ground level, eight floors, and a roof level, situated within the sustainable and rapidly developing zone of Masdar City, Abu Dhabi.
Due to the structural requirements and depth of excavation, the project required a robust and carefully engineered foundation system to ensure long-term stability and safety.
HDFC was appointed as the Enabling Contractor, responsible for executing all shoring and piling works essential for the successful completion of the building’s substructure.
HDFC constructed a secant pile retaining wall system along the excavation perimeter to prevent soil movement and support the deep excavation required for the basement.
The system ensured:
This retaining system was selected due to its structural performance in areas with challenging soil conditions.
HDFC executed the piling works necessary to support the vertical and horizontal loads of the proposed building.
These piles were designed to achieve high load-bearing capacity and ensure long-term stability of the superstructure.
Piling works included:
Although excavation volume and depth were not specified in the image, the shoring and piling system implemented by HDFC ensured complete structural stability for the basement excavation, safeguarding adjacent utilities, nearby structures, and site workers.
Key considerations included:
HDFC maintained rigorous quality standards throughout the project through:













Installed to ensure lateral support and groundwater control in Masdar’s soil profile.
Piles executed with strict QC procedures ensuring durability and long-term structural reliability.
Fully aligned with Masdar City’s sustainability and environmental standards.
Completed enabling works efficiently, facilitating immediate progression to basement construction.
The successful completion of HDFC’s enabling and piling works laid the groundwork for one of Abu Dhabi’s key sustainable infrastructure facilities. The project showcases HDFC’s engineering precision, adherence to EHS standards, and commitment to quality performance across all stages of foundation and substructure works.
