Excavation sheet piles walls are usually installed in horizontal sections with sheet piles or H piles and wood timbers and whalers. Depths of 50’ or more can be achieved and the sheet piles walls can be removed or abandoned depending on project requirements. Helical pilings (soil nails) are used as tiebacks to properly support the sheet piles wall and what’s behind it.
Soil nails (helical pilings) are used to retain hills, berms, retaining sheet piles walls and other demising structures where the angle of repose is steeper than allowable and sliding soils become a concern. They are effectively used on road embankments, golf courses, undulating landscaped areas and gun ranges.
