The International Exposition took place in 2017 in Nur-Sultan, Kazakhstan as The
EXPO 2017 on Future Energy. This project has Center of the Arts, Energy Hall and even a city
with an indoor shopping and entertainment pavilions. EXPO complex occupies 173.4 hectares.
The leading construction companies built the «city of the future». Foundation of the EXPO 2017
project was constructed by modern geotechnologies in Nur-Sultan, Kazakhstan. O-cell loading
test and conventional static tests were conducted and compared their results. O-cell testing
method was studied and described advantages of using it for large diameter pile foundations.
The O-cell test method offers a number of potential advantages versus the conventional testing of
bored piles, such as economy, high load capacity, shear/bearing components, improved safety, rock
sockets and reduced work area.
