    The barrette piles that form the core of the new Paris law court tower are 50 meters deep and anchored in limestone bedrock. They are excavated in two phases using different tools to penetrate tough rock and soil layers. The reinforcement cages are assembled in 5 prefabricated sections lowered sequentially into place. Finally, concrete is pumped into the excavation from the bottom up to form continuous columns supporting the tower.

    DEEP FOUNDATIONS – BARRETTE PILES


    The cores of the tower are based on 2.70mx1.20m barrette piles, which are 50m deep, in
    order to be anchored in coarse limestone. They are built on the same principle as the
    diaphragm wall, but they are much deeper and therefore there are two peculiarities.
    The first is an excavation in two phases with two different tools:
    After achieving the low guide walls,
    • Excavation is started with a hydraulic mill for pre-drilling tender horizons Auversian
    clayey sand. This is the same procedure for the diaphragm walls. This is the same
    procedure for the diaphragm walls.
    • Next, to cross the hard horizon of Marn and Loos Stones, the excavation is
    continued with a hydro perforation cutter.
    It comprises two drums with teeth which rotate in opposite directions and grind the ground.
    The cuttings are sucked continuously from the bottom panel by a pump located between the
    drums, while the recycled slurry is injected at the top, that is the reverse circulation. Here, the
    tool never rises to the surface during perforation. Verticality can be assessed by
    instrumentation on the fixed frame and into the barrel of the tool. It may be corrected in real
    time by operating some hydraulic components present on the mill body.

    The second feature due to the length of the barrette piles is that the cages are necessarily
    prefabricated in 5 sections, which must be assembled directly in the excavation. Each
    segment is held from the top by means of horizontal tubes slipped through the loops. A
    second section may then be coupled to the first. The auscultation tubes are nested and
    welded. The coating of steel is provided through cable ties. Before each run, concrete
    spacers pads are in placed to ensure the concrete cover of 7cm. The elements are coupled
    and then step by step down. The last section of the reinforcement cage does not play
    structural role but simply serves as hanger. Indeed, the barette piles are not made from the
    raft level but from the natural terrain at 32NVP. The last section cage will therefore be torn
    during the general excavations.

    Finally a concrete column is slided down, in the barrette pile, section by section to the bottom
    of the excavation, and we proceed to the concreting from the bottom, through mixer trucks.
    During the excavation, the part of the concrete barrette pile that is above raft level is
    demolished
