PRESTRESSED HIGH-STRENGTH CONCRETE

(PHC) PILE FOR MARINE STRUCTURE

In this webinar, the speaker will touch on the following matters:

• The concern in foundation design for marine structures;

• The options available in deep foundation for marine structures and the comparison of each options
• The suitability of the application of PHC piles over different types of foundations in marine structures
• Sharing of project experience：
o Container terminal
▪ Analysis on the application of PHC spun piles in that soil profile. MLT and PDA test results will
be discussed and compared to the design criteria.
▪ Installation process on how to overcome the problem of handling, pitching and positioning the
long and heavy big diameter concrete piles at marine condition.
▪ What are the problems occurred and how to overcome it.

o Marine viaduct
▪ The soil profile and challenges faced in conducting piling works in different section will be
discussed
▪ The pros and cons of the adopted Piling method.
▪ What are the problem faced and how to overcome it.

Concrete Products Sdn Bhd (ICP) as an Assistant General Manager involving in sales and
technical services for almost 20 years. His experience includes supply chain of construction
industries and specializing in providing solutions to pile foundations for various structures
from the designing stage up to project implementation stage.

Between 2005 to 2013, he was transferred to ICP’s China operation and was extensively
involved in marine projects specialized in producing marine piles for offshore engineering. He
started as a project engineer in ICP’s new factory construction and involved in the supply chain
of the marine construction industry in southern China.

He specialized in providing technical solutions to clients and consultants in applying PHC piles in their project foundation
design, switching from steel piles, bored piles, caissons etc. In 2010, he led a research team to develop super large
diameter PHC piles and China’s first dia. 1400mm PHC pile was developed in 2012 and was applied in the foundation for a
Container Terminal Project in Zhuhai, China, which was a terminal with berthing capacity of 100,000 ton.

Since 2013, Mr Ng is mostly involved in the supply chain of construction especially marine projects in Malaysia, South East
Asia and even up to Bangladesh. Projects experience includes the foundation for a 24km long bridge, various port
terminals, oil terminals, container terminals, bridges for rail crossing, cruise terminals, breakwater, marinas, etc.
