Block 185: Slurry Diaphragm Wall Construction in Austin, TX
Standing at 589 ft tall, Block 185 will be the newest addition to Austin’s ever growing skyline and the fourth tallest tower in the city. Located in the developing waterfront district, the project site is situated just 250’ north of the Colorado River and is bounded on the west by one of its major tributaries, Shoal Creek. To accommodate the six-story below grade parking garage, a slurry diaphragm wall system was selected for support of excavation. This design-build method of SOE was selected to meet the myriad of challenges at this site, which included excavation extending some 45 ft below the groundwater table through highly variable geologic stratifications from loose sands to weak shales to highly competent limestone. The construction and engineering challenges, solutions, and lessons learned on this project will be explored and discussed in this paper.
