Pile Construction on Soil Slopes

[Catjacob]

The problem I have is pile foundations for a bridge. The bridge has to span over a 12m wide moat and the slopes/banks on both sides are 8m height at 35 degrees. In addition, the site constraint includes that the construction of piles must not stabilize or loosen the soil slope.

Could any geotech man give me some clues (e.g. Temp works on slope for the construction of piles, method of driving/boring)?

Thanks

That is very limited info the one you are providing so far. Nevertheless, this is though not typical geotechnical problem it is condition that the geotechnical engineer of the project should be completely involved. It should be his or her call. Contact your geotechnical consultant..
