On sites where deep excavation is required, temporary earth retention for support of excavation is the first stage of construction. Traditional techniques such as steel sheetpiling or tied back soldier beam and lagging walls are effective and, under the right conditions, can be a very economic option. However, not all sites are amenable to the vibration-intensive installation techniques involved in driving sheetpiling, and the presence of underground utilities or other structures may prevent either technique from being installed to the required design depth. This is particularly true in urban environments. In those circumstances, geotechnical options such as soil nailing, grouting systems or ground freezing can be viable alternatives, or supplements, to traditional temporary earth retention techniques.
Because Moretrench is experienced in all of these techniques, we can offer the optimum solution tailored to project requirements and subsurface conditions and restraints.
