D-walls are built to be very thick as they act as the strength of a building. A D wall’s thickness can range from 300 mm to 1200 mm.

When a building is constructed in a congested location where there are several existing structures in close proximity around the area, it is suggested to opt for D walls or diaphragm walls.

The walls act as a strong factor while making a deep basement.

It is important to ensure the materials used for construction are of high quality. Quality of concrete, supporting bars, and such materials need to be of fine quality following applicable laws and specifications.

Moreover, regular maintenance is needed to make sure environment conditions do not affect the diaphragm walls.

A thorough site survey and engineering assessment is done before finalizing if diaphragm walls can be constructed in a certain location. Factors like groundwater table, seismic activity, and properties of soil matter very much while constructing D walls.

We perform a comprehensive engineering evaluation before beginning any construction work.

Special waterproofing coatings are put to the exterior of D wall structures while fabricating. It stops any possibility of dampness, chemical exposure in the future. Also, including a suitable drainage system is important to decreasing water pressure.

No, it is not hard. You only need to keep a routine maintenance schedule to ensure the diaphragm walls are in good condition. In case of any damage or deterioration, it will be easy to identify them during these checks.
