This method of a wall in the ground involves the device of a special strengthening of bored piles, capable of withstanding the lateral pressure of the soil. Thus, the essence of the whole method is to ensure reliable protection of the future structure when developing pits of various diameters. The method of the wall in the ground is of particular importance in those situations if it is required to bring the fences of the pits closer to the existing foundations (at a distance of less than 1 meter). The effectiveness of this method is relevant under difficult hydrogeological conditions, when conducting construction work at great depths (for the construction of transport and other types of tunnels). The use of ground anchors also allows to achieve a positive effect, like the wall-in-ground method - in this case, the anchors transfer the pulling forces from the building structures to the soil thickness. Their use is possible in a wide variety of areas of construction - civil, transport, industrial and, of course, hydraulic engineering. Perhaps the only limitation for them is subsiding, swelling soils, peat, and clay of a fluid consistency. With the help of ground anchors, it is possible to reduce the weight of the protective structure. When carrying out these works, a guide wall is initially installed, which serves as a support for soil layers on the surface; then reinforcement is installed to the final required depth. The subsequent actions, which the method of the wall in the soil assumes, are pumping out the suspension and the final concreting. Thus, in the end, the method of the wall in the ground provides reliable protection for your foundation. Site map Construction holding company Old Town - KARST © 2010
