| Abstract: | Critical to the construction of the Federation Island project in Sochi, Russian Federation, is the soil improvement needed under the breakwaters. To improve the soil different methods and techniques can be used, which all have their own characteristics. Furthermore, these methods and techniques can have different influence on the project outcomes, which are construction time and cost for the construction of the island breakwaters. The goal of this research was to determine and asses the risks on the construction of the Federations Island’s breakwaters. To achieve this goal first a detailed research of possible soil improvement methods and techniques was done, after which the best two techniques were computed in a simulation model. The model was developed in a modular manner, allowing it to be useful for later phases of this project or for other projects. A literature study, a web search and by consulting experts of different companies the required input data, information for the model and data for the risk analyses was collected. |
