Retaining Walls

Retaining Walls

Caporn Piling specialises in retaining wall solutions, including contiguous, soldier, secant, and sheet pile walls, providing stability, soil retention, and water management for deep excavations. Our expertise in ground anchors and soil nails ensures additional lateral support for challenging ground conditions.

Retaining Wall Solutions:

• Contiguous Pile Walls – Constructed with minimal gaps between piles to retain soil before excavation, with shotcrete or secondary lining applied as needed.

• Soldier Pile Walls – Spaced piles designed for dry, stable soil conditions, reinforced with shotcrete or a secondary wall.

• Secant Pile Walls – Overlapping piles with alternating soft and hard concrete for a fully interlocked water-resistant barrier.

• Sheet Pile Walls – Continuous pre-formed steel sections, ideal for earthworks support, flood defence, seawall stabilisation, and cofferdams.

Ground Anchoring & Soil Nails

For deeper excavations, temporary ground anchors or soil nails provide additional lateral support until the structure can sustain the load.

• Ground Anchors – High-tensile steel strands grouted into pre-drilled holes, tensioned against the piled wall for deep anchoring solutions.

• Soil Nails – Threaded steel bars installed in shallow ground conditions to reinforce excavation stability.

All our retaining wall and anchoring solutions are engineered to meet industry standards, ensuring safe, durable, and effective ground retention systems.
