Retaining Systems

Our expertise in design development enables us to offer value-added solutions. We provide various types of shoring systems, including H-Beam Walls, Contiguous Pile Walls, Mini Pile Walls, Sheet Pile Walls, Secant Pile Walls, and Diaphragm Walls. The choice of system depends on excavation depth, subsoil conditions, and surrounding structures. We also offer bracing systems for deep excavations, such as tie-back anchors and strutting works.

The variables, unknowns and constraints involved in retaining wall design are many, making it a complex and challenging task. A retaining wall design has to account for a number of factors, foremost being the stability of the wall itself. A thorough analysis of the geotechnical investigation report, project requirements, construction sequence, type of proposed structure and other factors is initially performed by design engineers.

This analysis, coupled with the experience of the designers, generates the first input for computer software (such as ReWaRD from Geocentrix and STAAD.pro from Bentley) to further analyze the complex loads and perform the calculations. Typically a retaining wall designer has to consider the following.
