In Gibraltar a major building development “EUROPORT” is taking place in the old harbour area. The paper describes the pile foundation of an 90,000 m2 administration/hotel centre. The centre was founded on 3500 precast reinforced concrete piles with design loads up to 1300 kN. The vertical bearing capacity of piles was evaluated by “The Danish Pile Driving Formula”. Its applicability was verified through 28 pile driving tests on combination with PDA-measurements, CAPWAP analyses and pile load tests.
