What are soil nail walls?

A soil nail wall is an earth retention system used for deep excavations.

How do they work?

Soil nail walls are created when steel reinforcing elements (nails) are installed and grouted over a regular pattern to create a soil that acts as a coherent mass with improved shear strength. The newly reinforced soil mass can then provide stability for landslides, cut slopes and deep excavations.

Why do you need soil nail walls?

Soil nail walls are used for a number of reasons, including stabilizing slopes and landslides, limiting ground settlement and providing earth retention systems for deep excavations.
