The MBS-submersible basement®

Sink a basement without fi xing soil anchors!

“Patented safety’

Sink a pre-fabricated basement without causing any vibrations or soil settlement – perfect for soft ground and for areas where groundwater pressure is a real problem. For parking garages, commercial basements and house cellars near structures (on steel) in inner city areas, without causing any damage to the immediate surroundings, sunk to the precise depth that you want, without lengthy dewatering.

Prevents: steel sheet piling, soil injection, prolonged drainage, settlement and damage. Reduces the construction time by 50%! Offers much greater freedom of design by eliminating retaining structures such as sheet piling, retaining walls, bored piles, etc.

Sinking basements at great depth, in every possible type of soil.

By ‘wet’ sinking a basement, you can prevent damage being caused from the soil sinkage that occurs when the ground wa-ter level is lowered; you can avoid any local soil contamination too. The fl oor is poured beneath the water level after the basement has been put in place.

Using pre-fabricated walls of steel sheet piling avoids the need for ground anchors! The MBS-submersible basement ® uses the environment’s natural forces during the sinking.

Warranties provide protection against water ingress and any damage caused during the build. ‘Start to fi nish’ implementa-tion by MBS including piling, dewatering, earthworks/drainage etc.

The MBS-submersible basement ® can be

quickly placed at ground level. Vertical pull

anchors are fi xed in centres of the walls,

and tension applied by hydraulic cylinders

mounted on the top of each wall.

The basement is sunk at depth, in a very

clean and smooth action, without the risk

of misalignment and adhesion. The piles

are trimmed whilst they are lowered into

the soil. The heavily reinforced bracing

frame in the basement prevents any ben-

ding or deformity of the basement walls.

After the basement fl oor has been poured

(possibly underwater) the bracing frame

can then be removed.
