Diagonal Mar Centro Comercial is a 350,000 square meter (3.75 mullion square foot) mixed use commercial development in Barcelona, Spain. It is located at the terminus of the premier boulevard in Barcelona, avenida Diagonal and will be known as Diagonal Mar - the "avenue by the sea". The project is located only two hundred meters from the shores of the Mediterranean Sea and approximately ten kilometers east of the Olympic Village - home to the athletes in the 1992 Olympic Games. The sheer size of the project and its location so close to the sea posed a whole host of enormous engineering challenges for the design and construction planning team as follows: (1) excavation retention method; (2) foundation system selection and design; (3) excavation/substructure construction method and sequence; and (4) substructure system location and design. |
