CeTeau completed soil improvement for the Dhaka Mass Rapid Transit Development project in Bangladesh. The works were part of the Dhaka Metro Rail Line-6, which will provide a 20 km Metro Rail system for Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh, which is one of the most highly populated and traffic congested cities in the world. The project will reduce traffic congestion and improve air pollution in the Dhaka City and thereby contributing to regional economic development and improvement of urban environment.
Although the Metro Rail system will be elevated, the railway depot at the North side of Dhaka is located on land. Studies showed that the soil was unfit for erecting different structures and required specialized soil improvement first. Both installation of vertical drains, sand columns and Dynamic Compaction are part of the soil improvement scope.
