The results of several geotechnical studies performed for the Gulf of Suez Petroleum Company (GUPCO) in their Gulf of Suez July field are presented here. Soils at the site primarily consist of weak to moderately cemented carbonate sands and silts (carbonate content in excess of 90 percent). Pullout test results for 24-inch diameter pipe piles in this deposit illustrate that the current state-of-the-art practice in predicting soil pile response of driven pipe piles in calcareous deposits is not adequate. This study identifies the important geotechnical parameters and recommendations are provided to improve predictive capability in similar foundation environments.
