Contaminated soil disposal during development can be extremely costly. Therefore, properly segregating clean soil from contaminated soil when excavating is imperative. This process, excavation support, is often a requirement for Corrective Action Plans (CAPs) prepared for sites going through a Voluntary Remediation or Voluntary Cleanup programs (VRP or VCP). More information is available here on our Brownfields redevelopment page.

Support of excavation (SOE) systems are vital to the construction process. During construction, there are many disturbances, vibrations and movement of heavy machinery. These disturbances can put your excavation area at risk, causing cave-ins or contaminated soil to move.
Areas adjacent to your construction site can also be affected by unsupported excavations. Adequate temporary or lasting support lowers the risk and braces your construction area. Shoring existing structures is recommended to support the trenches, holes or cuts made to the ground during excavation.
Surrounding buildings, amassed construction materials and heavy equipment can pressure retention systems. Underpinning the sections adjacent to the excavation can lower the load on the walls and the risk of building settlement.

A variety of temporary and permanent excavation shoring systems are available. Anchors or bracing can laterally reinforce shoring and sheeting systems. Construction shoring may need protection from weather conditions if open for extended periods.
Steel sheets are inserted into a sequence along a planned excavation perimeter, interlocking to form an enduring or temporary wall. The design offers lateral soil support and lowered groundwater inflow. The sheets are installed using vibration-free and vibratory installation rigs.
Steel sheet piling serves as a barrier to groundwater flow and is used when building cofferdams, seawalls, and bulkheads. The piles also support excavations in basements, pump houses and foundations.
This excavation support method uses vertical piles driven or drilled into the ground, then grouted. The vertical beams are placed at intervals along the excavation walls.
Soldier pile walls are embedded retaining walls. The soil is kept in place so the ground level in front of the wall can be lowered. These columns are used to secure slopes and excavations and retain cohesive soils.
This method combines soil with injected cement on-site to construct a durable column. The cement-soil beams can improve strength and lower permeability.
The overlapping columns form structural walls and provide the required water tightness. You can reinforce them with steel and anchors. Secant piles support wing walls, slope security and water cutoff for drainage channels and excavations
Tangent piles are a type of secant piles. The columns are created adjacent to each other along the boundary of the excavation wall, forming a structural or cutoff barrier. Tangent piles may be reinforced with beams and anchors.
Soil nailing uses grouted nails or tension-resisting steel elements to support the earth on-site. The technique uses a gravity retaining wall for temporary or lasting reinforcement.
