Summary of construction activities.

Stage numberActivity

1Reinforce the passive zone, install SMW, and insert H-shaped steel
2Excavate to −1.8 m and pour the first layer of concrete internal bracing
3Excavate to −6 m and pour the second layer of concrete internal bracing
4Excavate to −7.9 m and pour grade beams
5Construct basement walls, pour slab, and demolish the second internal bracing and backfill
6Pull out the H-shaped steel, fill the interspace, and demolish the first internal bracing
