Geopac Provides “Dry Box” Solution to Allow Construction

of Underground Parkade in Richmond, BC

The GEOMIX “Dry Box” technique is an effective ground engineering concept which allows

below-grade construction in saturated soils eliminating continuous dewatering and

subsequent treatment to satisfy environmental regulations.

In choosing Geopac's innovative solution, developers are able to build an underground car

parkade in dry conditions in a high water table environment within highly permeable soils

such as generally encountered in river deltas and coastal locations.

GEOMIX technology offers the advantage to combine deep permeability cut-off (up to 35m)

with a multi-storey retaining wall capability, thus enabling dry and stable below grade

constructionworks and virtually eliminating dewatering and associated treatment costs.
