Soil-Nails

an efficient, effective and economical method of earth reinforcement

Soil nailing is an efficient, effective and economical method of earth
reinforcement, which allows a controlled improvement of the natural stability of the soil. TITAN soil nails provide friction, shear and tension strength in loose materials, combining all into a new monolithic structure.

Soil nailing consists of 3 basic elements:

• Existing soils or weathered rock.
• TITAN rotary grouted, self drilling soil nails.
• Surface treatment with reinforced shotcrete, geotextile mesh or tensioned wire nets on slopes to 70 degrees.

Advantages of soil nailing

• Installation is practically free from vibration.
• Drill rigs can install soil nails at all angles.
• As there is no requirement to case line the drill hole, most drill rigs installing TITAN soil nails are smaller and can cope well with slopes and confined spaces.
• Soil nailing offers the opportunity to produce an environmentally friendly but technically safe "green wall" solution, often less expensive than traditional back anchored retaining walls.
