Utilising steel reinforcing bars as nails, a wide range of slope stabilisation and retention is possible on general excavations, land slips, subsidence and even as an added support for a retaining wall. High yield steel bars are installed into pre drilled holes and grouted in place without tensioning giving a simple, quick and cost effective stabilising and retaining structure. 

Perfect for new installations or remedial works

The minimalist and simple approach of soil nailing makes it an easy method to utilise on new builds and current construction works as well as in remedial situations where land slips or subsidence has taken place.

Flexibility in strength

The exact method of application, size of steel reinforcement and optional facings which can be flexible such as timber crib or rigid, such as pneumatically applied shotcrete, offer flexibility in structural form and finish ensuring we can design a solution which fits aesthetic and strength requirements, limiting costs and simplifying engineering design.

Ideal in natural environments

Soil nailing works best in cohesive ground and is ideal for retaining natural slopes in parkland settings and for strengthening existing retaining walls or in cutting situations perhaps adjacent to roads and railway lines.

Soil nailing can be utilized as a stand alone reinforced earth solution or in conjunction with a retaining wall or more robust technique such as ground anchors.
