SHORING SOLUTION

  • Construction site with excavator on top of a deep excavation wall, construction vehicles, a tripod, and piles of dirt, with cloudy sky overhead.

    Soldier Beam and Lagging

    The soldier beam and lagging system is a widely used method for temporary earth retention during excavation. It involves installing vertical steel beams, known as soldier piles, at regular intervals along the excavation perimeter.

  • Construction site showing a deep excavation pit with retaining wall panels, muddy water, and construction equipment in the background under a partly cloudy sky.

    Sheet Pile

    Sheet pile is a type of interlocking retaining wall element, typically made of steel, but also available in timber, vinyl, or concrete. These individual sections are driven or vibrated into the ground to form a continuous barrier that can retain soil or water.

  • Construction site with workers in safety gear, large pipes, orange cones, and ongoing ground work, with a building in the background.

    Secant Pile

    Secant pile walls are constructed by drilling and concreting a series of overlapping vertical piles. Typically, alternating "primary" piles are installed first, followed by "secondary" piles drilled in between and overlapping the primaries.

  • Construction site with a large concrete wall prepared with numerous metal bolts, and construction equipment including an excavator, on a clear day with blue sky.

    Soil Nail Wall

    Soil nail shoring is a ground reinforcement technique where steel bars, known as soil nails, are drilled and grouted into an existing slope or excavation face at an angle.

This, along with other advanced digital applications we've developed, empowers us to deliver truly sustainable solutions for both our clients and the environment.

GEOTECHNICAL SOLUTIONS

  • Diagram illustrating soil layers, elastic halfspace, and underground rock and bedrock with labels for free surface and compliant rock.

    Seismic Site Response Analysis

    Site Response Analysis is a crucial step in geotechnical earthquake engineering that evaluates how soil layers modify the characteristics of seismic waves as they travel from the bedrock to the ground surface.

  • Construction site with gravel piles, a drilling machine, workers, and parked cars on a rainy day.

    Ground Improvement

    Ground improvement encompasses a variety of techniques used to enhance the engineering properties of soil, making it more suitable for construction. These methods can increase soil strength, reduce compressibility, decrease permeability, and mitigate liquefaction potential.

  • Construction workers operate heavy machinery on a dirt site with partially built buildings in the background.

    Deep Foundations

    Deep foundations are structural elements that transfer building loads to deeper, more competent soil or rock strata when shallow foundations are inadequate. These foundations extend significantly below the ground surface and include systems like piles, piers, and caissons.

  • Construction site with excavators and workers, hillside with houses, palm trees, cloudy sky.

    Slope Stabilty

    Slope stability analysis assesses the resistance of natural or engineered slopes to failure caused by gravity, water pressure, or other external factors. It involves evaluating the shear strength of the soil or rock mass and comparing it to the stresses acting along potential failure surfaces.scription goes here
