The total length of the frontage of Wharf 21 of this project is 800 meters, which is divided into three zones (East Zone, Central Zone and West Zone) from east to west. There are 451 bored piles, including 240 bored piles of 1100 mm diameter, 16 bored piles of 1000 mm diameter and 195 bored piles of 900 mm diameter. The design pile length of bored pile with a diameter of 1100 mm is 29 m, that of bored pile with a diameter of 1000 mm is 33 m and that of bored pile with a diameter of 900 mm is 29 m. The strength grade of concrete is B50, and the bearing layer of each pile type is sandstone cemented KUKA layer, and the design requires that the thickness of the sediment at the bottom of the hole is not more than 30 mm. About 13,900 m³ of concrete is poured.
