Steel reinforcing bars (nails) are installed and grouted over a regular pattern to create a soil that acts as a coherent mass with improved shear strength. This reinforced soil mass provides stability for landslides, cut slopes, and deep excavations. Soil nail walls can: Soil Nail Wall Uses For decades, soil nail walls have been an ever-present fixture of our nation’s construction and infrastructure programs. Soil nail walls have been used for all of the applications below: The Process The construction of soil nail walls is a relatively fast and simple process. It’s an excellent choice to guard against slope failures. The process begins with planning and an assessment of the soil to ensure it is suitable for the soil nail wall. Soils with too little cohesion are often not recommended for soil nail walls. Once the potential site has been assessed, excavated, and supported (if necessary), our team then drills a hole into the soil and installs the first row of nails. The nails are then grouted, a strip drain is installed, and shotcrete is applied to that section of nails. This process is then simply repeated until the entire designated area has been finished, after which a final facing in constructed. Given how simple the process is in most cases, it is a very quick and effective way to stabilize soil. The Benefits In addition to being a relatively quick installation process, soil nails walls offer a bevy of other benefits, including: Contact Us Today!
