Civil Engineering

Backed by valuable plant expertise and adhering to top-notch safety standards, BUSANG CONSORTIUM - HSL CONTRACTOR have been sought after to undertake civil engineering works in diverse areas. These include laying large foundations for heavy plant equipment, pipeline works, deep excavations, pipe rack foundations and fabrication of steel structures.

Large Foundation for Heavy Plant Equipment

Beneath all heavy plant equipment lies a robust foundation, and at BUSANG CONSORTIUM - HSL CONTRACTOR, we pride ourselves in being one of the best foundation builders for the process industries. In process plants, huge structures such as furnaces, reactors and boilers are common, and these units often require complex designs to ensure that high temperatures can be maintained without compromising the integrity of the underlying structure. Understanding their complexity and unique requirements has aided us in developing a strong foundation building process that firmly incorporates safety and stability.

Water Lines, Sewer Lines & GRE Pipes

The apparently simple process of placing water lines and sewer lines can actually throw up multiple challenges. The many considerations affecting such work include depth of the trenches, proximity to existing structures and underground services in the vicinity. Good planning is seen as an essential first step in constructing waterlines and sewer lines, because that preempts any possibility of leakage in future. BUSANG CONSORTIUM - HSL CONTRACTOR believe we are one of the best planners in the industry, constantly following meticulous steps to avoid or mitigate the effects brought about by any kind of underground obstacle, and therefore laying line and pipe networks that can stand the test of time.

Deep Excavations

Deep excavation works have to be performed in a plant when constructing neutralization pits, oil interceptors or water tanks. Knowing the hazardous nature of excavation work, we give extensive consideration to the types of shoring system used whenever excavation is taking place. Additionally, BUSANG CONSORTIUM - HSL CONTRACTOR competent construction team ensures that diligent measures and actions are constantly in place to mitigate the hazards and conditions during deep excavation works, especially in “live” plants.

Pipe Rack Foundations

Up to now, pipelines still offer the most economical means of transporting gases and liquids. Such pipelines, sometimes used to transfer more hazardous hydrocarbon gases and liquids, are usually supported by pipe racks which play an important role in keeping the pipelines safe and functioning. Robust foundation works are vital to these racks and that’s where our expertise and experience comes in. With more than 15 years of experience in performing piling works across a variety of process plants, BUSANG CONSORTIUM - HSL CONTRACTOR are familiar with the hazards associated with working in “live” process plants, making us a preferred choice by many multinational process plant operators.

Building Construction

With a clear understanding of the safety and quality expectations in the plant environment, BUSANG CONSORTIUM - HSL CONTRACTOR are able to provide building construction services for various facilities such as electrical sub-stations, temporary offices and warehouses.

Electrical Sub-Stations

An electrical sub-station is a subsidiary of an electrical generation system where voltage is transformed from a higher to lower range or reversed by means of transformers. Normally several high power pieces of electrical equipment are housed within each substation and as such, materials of appropriate type and thickness are required to ensure adequate resistance. BUSANG CONSORTIUM - HSL CONTRACTOR experience with substations helps us to ensure that all the necessary safety precautions are in place, and suitable building methods are adhered to so that the end result is a facility that functions smoothly and safely.

Ground Engineering

In a world where building and development take place on increasingly varied terrains, the ability to respond to the nature and intrinsic variability of the soil is of pivotal importance. And at BUSANG CONSORTIUM - HSL CONTRACTOR, knowledge of the soil we work on, flexibility in approaching our work and a high degree of know-how enables us to confidently overcome geotechnical challenges to help achieve safe and viable development in all kinds of locations.

Piling

Forming the very basis of construction, piling is an activity that requires experience and knowledge. Supported by a diverse range of up-to-date piling equipment, BUSANG CONSORTIUM - HSL CONTRACTOR are able to deliver piling works of high quality to ensure a safe and stable foundation for any kind of construction activity.

Bored Piles

Widely used as an economical solution for the foundation of highrise buildings, bored piling cannot be carried out effectively without extensive experience and knowledge. In normal soil conditions, the construction of bored piles involves installation of temporary steel casings prior to boring by means of a rotary rig. In extremely unstable and weak soil conditions, polymer or bentonite slurry is used to prevent collapse of the pile shaft. To overcome ground variability and minimize on-site vibration and noise levels, BUSANG CONSORTIUM - HSL CONTRACTOR performs detailed soil analysis and mitigation studies before selecting the most appropriate drilling technology, thus enabling us to build a safe foundation with minimal disruption to the surrounding areas.

Micro Piles

Micro Piles are small diameter piles used to carry vertical loads for small structures such as lift shafts and walkway shelters, particularly in congested built-up environments. It offers a viable alternative to conventional piling techniques, particularly in restricted access or low headroom situations. BUSANG CONSORTIUM - HSL CONTRACTOR expertise in micro piles ensures that installations are carried out with a high level of quality control, low noise levels and minimum on-site vibration.

Earth Retaining Structures

Earth retaining structures are used to hold back earth and provide support for vertical grade changes. With a wealth of knowledge in installing earth retaining structures, BUSANG CONSORTIUM - HSL CONTRACTOR is able to construct diaphragm/slurry walls, contiguous bored pile walls and secant pile walls, ensuring a high degree of safety and durability for all of our work.

Diaphragm/Slurry Walls

Diaphragm walls are barriers or earth retaining walls made of reinforced concrete and constructed in the ground by means of a trenching process. Slurry walls are similar, except that they are non-structural barriers and hence, more commonly used as cutoff walls to impede deep groundwater flow. Through the construction of diaphragm and slurry walls, BUSANG CONSORTIUM - HSL CONTRACTOR provides economical solutions for developing multilevel basements and for controlling environmental groundwater problems.

Contiguous Bored Pile Wall

Contiguous bored pile wall is one of the most common earth retaining systems, where the bored piles are constructed in lineal sequence and side-by-side with minimum clear spacing. It is particularly suitable in situations where site boundary restrictions prohibit the use of alternative forms of soil retaining systems, for example where adjacent structures are immediately adjoined to the wall boundary. By tailoring methods and specifications to suit particular site conditions, BUSANG CONSORTIUM - HSL CONTRACTOR designs and builds walls that are safe and robust.

Secant Bored Pile Wall

A secant bored pile wall is another type of earth retaining system using the bored piling technique of construction. Secant bored pile walls consist of overlapping primary piles which are often referred to as female piles and secondary (male) piles. Depending on ground conditions and design requirements, secant bored pile walls are a cost effective way to provide alternative retaining wall systems especially in controlling water flow, and allowing basement excavation with limited pumping in granular or water bearing strata.
