Plot No. 6488613, Wadi Al Safa 5, Dubai, U.A.E.
Proposed (3B + G + P = 17 + Roof) Residential Building
Location: Plot No. 6488613, Wadi Al Safa 5, Dubai, U.A.E.
This project involves the construction of a high-rise residential tower consisting of 3 basements, ground floor, 17 floors, and roof level, positioned in the fast-developing area of Wadi Al Safa 5, Dubai.
The development required a reliable deep foundation and shoring solution due to the multi-level basement structure and significant excavation volume involved.
HDFC was appointed as the Specialized Enabling Contractor, responsible for delivering the shoring, piling, and excavation support systems necessary for safe and stable construction of the building’s substructure.
A 220 L.M. secant pile wall was installed around the excavation boundary to provide structural support and soil retention for the deep basement.
The secant wall ensured:
This system was selected due to the depth of the basements and surrounding construction constraints.
HDFC constructed 200 cast-in-situ working piles to support vertical loads and provide long-term structural stability for the superstructure.
These piles were designed to achieve the required load-bearing capacities while adapting to varying soil conditions across the site.
To reinforce the secant pile wall, HDFC installed one complete level of steel bracing.
This bracing system minimized deflection during excavation and safeguarded adjacent structures, ensuring safe working conditions throughout the enabling works.
The project required a substantial 40,000 cubic meters of excavation.
HDFC successfully executed the multi-stage excavation while maintaining:
HDFC followed strict quality and testing procedures to ensure full compliance with project specifications and consultant approval:
Detailed reports and ITPs (Inspection & Test Plans) were provided at each stage.
Executed multi-basement excavation with stable and safe shoring performance.
Working piles installed with accurate depth, alignment, and testing compliance.
Maintained high-quality control systems ensuring zero safety issues onsite.
Delivered a secure foundation platform enabling smooth transition to raft and superstructure construction.
HDFC successfully delivered all enabling works — including shoring, piling, and excavation — on schedule, within specification, and without any safety incidents.
The project set a strong foundation for the main contractor to proceed with raft and superstructure works, demonstrating HDFC’s capability to execute large-scale, deep foundation projects to the highest engineering standards.
