Soil Nailing, Anchoring & Slope Stabilisation

The scope of Work we carry out includes;

• Soil nailing using tracked rotary percussive drilling rigs or feed beam attachments to excavators including long reach machines
• Use of grouted hollow soil nails or solid bar soil nails
• Rock anchoring and stitching for unstable rock slopes using hand held drills, mini rigs, tracked rigs or rail mounted rigs
• Ground anchors for retaining walls, basements, contiguous piles, shafts and other below ground structures under hydrostatic uplift pressure
• In-situ reinforced concrete or steel plate anchor and soil nail heads
• Provision of steel or geo-grid/geo-textile/geo-cell mesh systems for slope stabilisation, soil reinforcement, prevention of soil erosion, rock fall protection and establishment of vegetation
• Driven steel mini-piles, CFA, Secant Wall, augered and rotary cased piling to intercept and stabilise slip planes, use as shear pins, abutments and retaining walls - See ‘Mini-Piling’
• Gabion support structures and anchored gabion applications
• Engineered earthworks, starter layers, drainage layers, benching, rock filling and embankment toe surcharging
• Rabbit infestation netting and burrow grouting
• Counterfort drains, slope drains, crest drains, toe drains and land drainage systems.
• Drilled slope drainage systems and installation of Platidrains
• Reinforced earth and proprietary earth retaining systems
• Steel sheet piling for retaining walls, cofferdams, river & watercourse bank stabilisation
• In-situ concrete or grout retaining walls, gravity retaining structures and infill barriers - for above and below ground applications
• Precast concrete retaining walls systems
• Grouting of unstable rock slopes or collapse debris to improve strength and stability
• Use of winching arrangements for drilling rigs working on steep or unstable slopes
• Bridge tying to prevent abutment spread
• Revetments, rock armour, scour protection and soft engineering protection to riverbanks and watercourses
• Roof bolting in mines, headings and adits using hand operated or feed beam mounted drills such as Exchem Turbo bolter
• Slope monitoring and borehole drilling for instrumentation - extensometers, inclinometers, piezometers, standpipes, surface pegs & precise levelling
