Large Diameter Piles in Versova Bandra Sea Link Project - A Case Study

The construction of bridges in marine environments poses unique challenges that demand innovative solutions to save the ecosystem along with the time and construction cost. Monopiles have emerged as a pivotal component in such conditions and have much reduced impact on marine environment and ecosystem. Monopile foundation is studied to find a good idea for design. It primarily illustrates why a large diameter pile foundation is preferable than a group pile bridge foundation. The motivation behind this study is to analyze the performance of monopile foundation over group pile foundation in marine conditions. This study explores the challenges, and advancements, scheduling in utilizing monopiles for such critical infrastructure projects. Through case studies and technical discussions, the paper aims to provide valuable insights for those who are involved in marine and bridge engineering projects.
