The demolition of the existing 800m2 RC slab required vibration mitigation due to a nearby sensitive live plant. Variable soil types necessitated specialized excavation and foundation techniques, while strict compliance with environmental and safety regulations was essential. The clean room facilities demanded extremely stable and precise foundation work, and effective communication and collaboration among the client, contractors, and regulatory bodies were crucial.
