Exploitation of the Dead Sea minerals using a solar evaporation system is a major industrial enterprise in Jordan that has been in operation since 1982. The process involves the pumping of brine from the Dead Sea to the solar evaporation ponds via a transfer canal. Because of the continual reduction in the Dead Sea water level at a rate of about 1.1 m per annum, a new intake pumping station has been recently commissioned by the Arab Potash Company. The area of interest is located in a vast tectonic depression that is part of the Dead Sea Jordan Rift valley system. The subsoil consists mainly of laminated soft clay followed by crystalline salt formations. The new intake's pumps are supported on a piled steel deck platform and are connected to two twin steel pipelines that convey the brine to the existing brine transfer canal. This paper deals with the geological and geotechnical aspects involved in the design of the new brine intake deep foundations taking into consideration the complex and dynamic environment of the Dead Sea, foreshore. The numerical analyses applied to consider the soil structures interaction of the complex system while considering the horizontal loads on the piles due to lateral movement of the soft clayey layers are emphasized. Different types of piles are deployed to support the structural loads. Results of a load test of a steel tubular pile provided with a reinforced concrete socket in the salt formation are also presented.
