Soil Nailing is a reinforcement and stabilisation system for cut slopes and embankments. It is part of the ground engineering services we offer. Soil Nailing involves the drilling and grouting of steel nails into a soil embankment. These nails reinforce the slip circle of the slope thus stabililing it.
Soil Nailing can be used in isolation or in conjunction with a variety of facing systems, such as:
- Rock netting with erosion control matting is the most economical solution.
- Gunnite
- Soil Panel results in a soft vegetated face.
- Gabion for a stone face.
- Permacrib for a semi vegetated wimber crib face.
- Efficient new build retaining structures in cutting used in conjunction with soft or hard facings
- Stabilising existing over-steep embankments
- Stabilising existing concrete or masonry retaining walls and bridge abutments
- Temporary support to excavations
