RVS Englisch 08.21.02 Platforms for Geotechnical Works
August 2018

This RVS is to be used for the design, construction and maintenance of platforms and the
herefore necessary measures for the following geotechnical works (specialist foundation construction):

• well building water supply
• sheet pile
• soldier pile walls
• bored piles
• displacement pile
• diaphragm walls
• jet grouting
• deep compaction (deep vibration compaction / vibro-replacement compaction)
• vertical drains
• deep soil stabilization
• thin cut-off wall
• water management
• tension (micro) piles and nails
• prestressed anchor
• bored drainage
• geotechnical grouting
• micro-piles
• shallow geothermal energy

This RVS is not valid for special platforms e.g. raised platforms for anchors.
