Soil-cement column grid collides with fibre duct during widening – chevron or shallow columns?

Eight-hundred-millimetre soil-cement columns on one-metre centres reinforce a widening near a live fibre duct sitting 0.9 m off drawing. The city wants zero outage risk. Options: chevron grid, shallow columns over the duct, or hand-placed flowable fill. If you swerved mid-grid, how did you keep geotech, utility, and scheduler all smiling?

Press release trumpeted uninterrupted fibre for 3 000 homes, spinning an engineering pivot as a community win.

Spray-paint the chevron grid so crews place columns without late-night tape measure confusion.

Satellite SMS numbers on site; cell drops inside the cut walls can delay safety calls.

Keep binder at fourteen percent in the top metre; clay up there still needs chemistry.

Cost plus five percent, schedule minus ten days compared with relocating the duct. Logged as classic value-engineering.

Night drilling means binder cools; raise silo temperature in the method statement or viscosity spikes.

Install an access pit now; future splice ease beats later digging.

Eight vibrating-wire gauges on the duct fed live microstrain to the utility’s SCADA; peace of mind in one graph.

Insurance rider disappeared once the grid moved clear of the duct; underwriter feared a fibre hit.

Binder order dropped fifteen tonnes after the chevron tweak; one phone call cancelled an extra silo rental.

Column depth over the gas line shrank from 8 m to 4 m; we thickened the slab 60 mm with mesh to compensate.

A Plaxis parametric bowl made the utility engineer approve in one meeting; visuals beat tables.

Chevron grid at 1.3 m centres in a V around the duct held settlement under 5 mm. Topped with a 200 mm rich-asphalt strip for stiffness correction.
