<\/div>
In 1993, at 35 Nguyen Hue Street, District 1, Ho Chi Minh City, Bachy Soletanche Group \u2013 a multinational group \u2013 officially commenced the construction of Harbour View Tower, marking the very first milestone in its more than three-decade journey of mastering foundation engineering in Vietnam.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Project Description:<\/strong><\/div>\n
\n
\"\ud83e\uddf1\"<\/span>\u00a03,200 m\u00b2 diaphragm wall, 0.6 m thick, 22 m deep<\/div>\n
\"\u2692\"<\/span>\u00a06 barrette piles (2.8 m \u00d7 0.6 m), 44.5 m \u2013 46.5 m in depth<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Project Scale:<\/strong> 19-storey office building with 2 basements, executed by the top-down method.<\/div>\n

Interesting facts:<\/strong><\/div>\n
\"\ud83d\udca6\"<\/span>\u00a0During diaphragm wall construction at a depth of 22 m in the heart of District 1, the team encountered rare challenges: rising groundwater levels and tight working conditions for heavy machinery. With creativity and persistence, the project was successfully delivered on schedule.<\/div>\n
\"\ud83d\udd29\"<\/span> A memorable detail: the barrette piles\u00a0were drilled down to strong bearing soil layers beneath the city \u2013 something never attempted before in Ho Chi Minh City at that time. From controlling the stability of the slurry, lowering massive reinforcement cages to concreting every centimetre precisely, our engineers ensured a foundation that remains robust and reliable to this day.<\/div>\n
\n

\"\ud83c\udf1f\"<\/span>\u00a0More than just a building, Harbour View Tower was the birthplace of the \u201cnothing is impossible\u201d spirit at Bachy Soletanche Group \u2013 where young Vietnamese engineers learned, grew, and built a strong sense of professional pride.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Significance & legacy:<\/strong><\/div>\n
Harbour View Tower was not only our very first project but also the symbolic beginning of over 115 major projects we have successfully delivered across Vietnam. Every diaphragm wall panel and barrette pile remains a testament to our advanced expertise, uncompromising quality, and relentless passion for excellence.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
