The presentation will initially review the concept, objectives and construction

method of diaphragm walls. This will be followed by an interesting case study of a

quay project whose concepts can be applied to projects of similar nature in Western

Australian ports. Also, the concept of curved diaphragm walls without anchors will

be introduced and a recent project which has utilized three cellular diaphragm walls

for one of the world’s largest private condominiums in Singapore will be reviewed in

detail.
