Synopsis : The Kota Kinabalu Port expansion project in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia was started in May 1985 and successfully completed in November 1987 by Kawasaki Steel Corporation. The major feature of this projects is that KPP (Kawasaki plastic-coated pipe) piles, a total number of 1429, were used. This method was adopted as the most effective anti-corrosion protection system for the heavy corrosive marine environment which existed in this tropical area. Driving such a large number of piles offshore in close proximity to each other was an unusual undertaking. In addition, the execution plan was carefully considered in order not to damage the high corrosion resistance coating during installation of the piles. The problem of movements of existing piles due to new pile driving was investigated and an evaluation method was utilized for the movements of the adjacent ground. The results of this evaluation were then compared with actual data. |
