Shoring/Soil Nailing

Shoring/Soil Nailing


Soil nailing, soldier pile & lagging, secant piling, tangent piling, underpinning - All are methods utilized to successfully retain earthen slopes and neighboring structures adjacent to excavations. Each technique has its advantages and not all methods are appropriate for all sites. Soil conditions, ultimate use of the site and its shoring, schedule, and coordination with other operations such as excavation and form work weigh heavily in the selection of the most appropriate technology. Condon-Johnson & Associates (CJA) is pleased to participate in the pre-engineering assessment of a project to assist in the selection of the most appropriate technology.

CJA has consistently introduced new technology into the field of shoring. CJA performed the first soil nailing project in North America in 1976, and was the first to use soil/cement mixing (DMM) methods in earth retention projects. Tiebacks to depths of 270’and excavation and shoring depths of 114’ have been achieved. Using the latest operating equipment, CJA continually looks for opportunities to improve this market sector.
