In 2013, SRK designed the excavation sequence for the placement of rockfill protection under the dock at La Plata, Argentina. Numerical models and analytical verifications of the background stability and the stability of the sheet piling of the lateral closing coffer were carried out. The anchoring system was designed and the displacements of the containment wall were calculated. SRK staff made periodic visits to the site over two years to observe the progress of the work. Modifications and adjustments were made to the designs as the project proceeded.
