EXCAVATION SHORING SYSTEMS

Excavation shoring is typically required to retain overburden soils adjacent to deep excavations to either facilitate new construction or other earth retention applications and to provide a safe work environment for construction crews. There are many forms of excavation shoring including steel sheet pile walls, shotcrete shoring walls, concrete retaining walls and soldier pile and lagging walls which may or may not need tie-back anchors for lateral support depending on their geometry, applied loads and the soil conditions.
