Soil nailing is a technique in which soil slopes, excavations or retaining walls are reinforced by the insertion of relatively slender elements - normally steel reinforcing bars. The bars are usually installed into a pre-drilled hole and then grouted into place or drilled and grouted simultaneously. They are usually installed untensioned at a slight downward inclination. A rigid or flexible facing (often sprayed concrete) or isolated soil nail heads may be used at the surface.
- Permanent Retaining Walls
- Temporary Shoring of Excavations
- Bridge Abutment Stabilization
- Vertical Retention of Failing Wall Systems
- Rock Bolting Fractured and deteriorating Rock
Our methods allow us to construct horizontal and vertical earth support systems in areas that are not easily accessible.
- Low clearance machines able to crawl under bridges, power lines and roof structures
- Compact equipment for small areas that can maneuver around obstacles and construct close to existing structures
- Lightweight operations that allow drilling indoors, basements, and also tall mountain faces
- Heavy equipment for reaching distant areas whether they are over or under obstacles
