Excavation Support & Shoring

Excavation support systems retain soil and protect adjacent structures during below-grade construction. The choice of system depends on excavation depth, groundwater conditions, adjacent structures, soil type, and whether the system is temporary or permanent. Common systems include soldier pile & lagging (most economical for dry sites), sheet piling (required for water exclusion), secant/tangent pile walls (permanent, water-tight), soil nail walls (economical permanent walls in competent soil), and internally-braced or tied-back systems for deep urban excavations. Design must limit ground movement to protect adjacent buildings, utilities, and streets. Monitoring (inclinometers, survey points, vibration sensors) is standard for urban excavations.
