Retaining Wall Design & Slope Stabilization – OHI Marine Building
Retaining Wall Design & Slope Stabilization – OHI Marine Building
Client: Douglas OHI
Sector: (Advisory + Engineering Design)
Location: Muscat, Oman
Year: 2022
Advisory Components (Stage 1–2): Risk Assessment & Feasibility Review:
Evaluated slope failure post-Cyclone Shaheen (2021) and identified risks to the OHI Marine building. Advised on two design alternatives: Special cantilevered retaining wall (constrained by road stability). Secant piled wall (fallback option).
Value Engineering Input:
Proposed cost-effective solutions balancing safety and spatial constraints.
Design & Execution (Stage 3–4):
Detailed engineering design (Stage 3). Optional construction supervision (Stage 4).
Outcome:
Mitigated landslide risks through tailored design. Enabled client to proceed with informed construction choices.
