Earth Retention Systems

Anderson Drilling has been installing earth retention systems throughout the Western U.S for over two decades. Our systems have been used for both temporary and permanent soil retaining solutions. The need for soil retention is as varied as the type of system utilized. The most popular solutions include soldier piles, soil nails and tiebacks. Our installation experience and in-house knowledge of these systems is second to none.The Soldier Pile System consists of an engineered system of closely spaced vertically drilled piles. The open spaces between the drilled soldier piles often require "shoring". The shoring is most often accomplished with wood lagging or steel sheets. The soldier pile system is a cost effective solutions for shallow vertical excavations. The Soil Nail System utilizes an engineered network of closely spaced steel bars ("nails") to reinforce and strengthen the existing vertical or sloped ground surface. This process creates a soil composite mass stable enough to retain the ground behind it. This system is often used when the construction proceeds from the "top down."The Tieback System incorporates an engineered system of high strength steel cables (tendons) that are drilled and grouted in-place. The Tieback method can provide a stand-alone, high capacity retaining system or be used to augment a soldier pile system in deep excavations.
