(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?
(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.
i am currently working on a deep basement project for my university coursework and was wondering if someone could help me with a case study of deep basement construction shedule[ microsoft project]. dosent matter what type of building it is i just want to use it for a reference.
i am mainly intrested in the work packages from start to finish as long as the building has a deep basement.
i hope this makes sence and i look forward to your replies.

thank you very much for all your help that is what i was looking for and now i can input all of these task in my planner adding 1 or 2 more extra tasks that are on my plans.
thank you again for takin the time to help me.
Hi Lincoln
10 m is not that deep.
In view of the constrained site an open cut is not possible.
tasks in order of appearance.
1. Divert all services
2. Reduce level to flat surface
3. Lay pile mat
2. Drive secant piles - which should hold back the water table but have standby pumps ready.
3. Install ring beam
4. Excavate to first prop level - consider conveyor belt for extracting spoil.
5. Install lateral props if required
6. Excavate to formation - consider method of removing excator from pit.
7. Install underslab drains and services plus drain sump - assume no lift pit
8. If heavy clay lay anti heave barrier
9. Lay basement slab
10 RFC Basement columns and/or walls
11. FRC Ground floor slab
12. Remove props
13 Internal block liner and basement partitions
I trust that suffices
Best regards

thank you for your reply
we were not told what the building will be and our project jus concentrates mainly on building a basement with two floors
the site is 76x33m and 10m deep.
the two floors are of steel frame with block work walls around the parimetre of the building.
the site is reasonably level and the is a water table around 5metres deep.
there are adjucent buildings and also have to arrange for a diversion of services
access to the site will be difficult as the area of the building will take up most of the site.
we were instructed to prepare a work shedule in microsoft project and that was the reason i was asking for an example so that i can use it as a reference for my project.
all the outputs for excavations; piling; ground anchors and blockwork etc i already have. i just wanted an example of a shedule that will build a deep basement up to ground level.
hope i have answered your question and managed to narrow my question.
thank you again for your reply and look forward to hearing from you again
unfortunately i cannot attach any of my drawings so my question can be clearer but hope this helps.
Hi Lincoln
Welcome to Planning Planet
There are so many variables in your question that it isimpossible to cover the whole field.
Perhaps you can narrow it down a bit.
Roughly how deep is deep
What will the space be used for
Is it a confined site or an open field
Is the site reasonably level
What is the sub - soil structure
Have you got a structural engineer's report
Are there any restrictions on vibrations
Are there any restrictions on noise
Are there any known utility services on the site
Is there a good access to the site for plant and equipment
All of these and more will influence the choice of construction method so please come back when you have a clearer idea.
Best regards
Mike Testro
