THE PILINGS ARE DRIVEN AS DEEPLY AS REQUIRED TO GIVE FRIM SUPPORT AND THE BOTTOMMOST CONCRETE BLOCK UNIT IS POSITIONED BETWEEN AND RESTING ON TWO ADJACENT PILINGS AT A PRESELECTED DEPTH BELOW OR ABOVE THE BOTTOM SURFACE. THE TOP BLOCK IS POST-TENSIONED AND THE INTERMEDIATE BLOCKS ARE DESIGNED ALONG WITH THE OTHER STRUCTURAL COMPONENTS TO HOLD THE GEOMETRY OF THE WALL. ALL STEEL PARTS, NAMELY, PILINGS AND PRETENSIONED CABLES, ARE SEALED OR ISOLATED FROM THE CORROSIVE EFFECTS OF WATER AND AIR.
