Construction—EMEA—Denmark—Excavations
Construction of a new Quarter with DYWIDAG Strand Anchors:
The Frederiks Plads in Aarhus
Aarhus is Denmark’s second largest city and is located on the east coast of the Jutland Peninsula, 187km northwest of Copenhagen.
This is where Frederiks Plads is currently under construction – a major project in which a new district is being built on an area of
48,500m². In the buildings surrounding the new square, 35,000m² will be available for commercial use and office space, 12,000m²
for apartments and 1,500m² for shops.
The new quarter with two 15 and 19 level
high rise buildings and several other buildings
is being developed on the premises of the
former maintenance facility of the Danish State
Railway, and the result will create a better
connection between the new area and the city
center in the future.
The retaining walls of the Frederiks Plads
excavation had to be stabilized by permanent
anchors. Additionally, some of the existing
72
construction and surrounding property had to
be integrated into the excavation and be tied
back as well. Due to its reliability and durability,
the DYWIDAG Strand Anchor System was
used for this purpose.
DSI supplied approximately 800 permanent
Type 3-0.62" and 4-0.62" DYWIDAG Strand
Anchors with a total length of approximately
20,000m for this project.
