DYWIDAG Soil Nails stabilize an Excavation for a new Shopping Center
In the town of Jaén, Cajamarca in northern Peru, DSI Construction Peru recently contributed to the construction
of a new shopping center owned by the company Megaplaza. The project with an investment volume of more than
15 million US Dollars is the town’s first shopping mall and, when completed, will include restaurants and a cinema
in addition to shops on an area of 18,000m².

The new shopping center was completed
within 8 months’ time. For the construction
of the center, some side hill cuts had to be
comprehensively stabilized. As a specialist
company, FLESAN ANCLAJES was awarded
the contract for installing the soil nails that
were necessary for the slope stabilization.
It is the second major project in which
DSI Construction Peru worked hand in hand
with FLESAN ANCLAJES.
To build the cuts near the excavation,
DSI Construction Peru supplied a total of
139 pieces of 32mm Ø DYWIDAG Soil
Nails. The passive and very resistant system
stabilizes the side hill cuts during the digging
of the excavation and the construction of the
basement floors.
The soil in the area of the excavation consisted
of backfill overlying layers of clay and silty sand.
In addition, there were several groundwater
springs near the jobsite that were located very
close to the surface. Owner
