Soil Nailing

Soil Nailing is an in situ technique for reinforcing, stabilizing and retaining excavations and deep cuts through the introduction of relatively small, closely spaced inclusions (usually steel bars) into a soil mass, the face of which is then locally stabilized. A zone of reinforced ground results that functions as a soil retention system.



Soil Nailing Applications
- Temporary and permanent excavation support/retaining walls
