Soldier Pile Shoring

Soldier piling is used to brace excavation in limited access areas or when adjacent structures or infrastructure eliminate the possibility of an open cut.

​

Large diameter down hole hammers are used to advance a hole into the soil or rock below the proposed excavation to accommodate an H-Beam which is then concreted into the socket below the excavation.

​

The excavation can then proceed in steps. Wooden boards are then placed between the H-Beams to transfer the lateral load of the excavated face to the H-Beams. The H-Beams can be designed to support the lateral load through the embedded length by acting as a cantilever. If additional support is required tie-back anchors can be used.
