Benefits:
- Quick Installation.
- Requires less underground easement than conventional tie-back anchors.
- Movement of the wall can be minimized.
- Soil Nail Wall can be directly underneath an existing structure to maximize space for adjoining construction.
- No limits to the Height of the Soil Nail Wall.
- Used as both permanent and temporary support.
- Minimize right-of-way requirement.
- Minimal vibration or displacement of soil during installation.
- Decorative Facing can be installed in front of the Soil Nail Wall.
Applications:
- Both temporary and permanent earth shoring walls.
- Earth retaining system for deep excavations.
- Stabilize existing bridge abutments to accommodate roadway expansion.
- Stabilizing slopes and hill sides.
- Supporting and strengthening the soil around tunnel excavations.
Soil Nails are steel reinforcing members that are installed in a uniform grid pattern and grouted to unify the soil into a cohesive mass creating a Soil Nail Wall.
Soil Nail Walls are constructed in stages/lifts from the top down. The first stage of the installation involves the excavation from the top cut down to a pre-determined bench elevation. Soil Nails are then drilled and installed thru the excavated cut face in a uniform grid pattern. The Soil Nails are then grouted to reinforce and bond the soil mass. The final stage is the application of Shotcrete to the excavated face for reinforcement.
Upon the completion of the first stage/lift the next level of excavation begins and the Soil Nail process is repeated, one stage/lift at a time, until the pre-determined wall height is achieved.
