Soil Nailing
Soil nailing reinforces the ground where it stands - holding slopes and excavation faces in place as they're exposed.
During excavation or on steep natural slopes, the soil face needs support as soon as it's exposed, before it's at risk of sliding or collapsing. Soil nailing installs steel bars (nails) directly into the slope, bonded with grout, to reinforce the soil mass in place.
It's a practical alternative to building a separate retaining wall - faster to install, and effective across a wide range of slope angles and soil types.
Soil Nailing Capabilities
Grouted Steel Nail Installation
Steel bars drilled and grouted into the slope to reinforce the soil mass directly.
Excavation Support
Stabilizing excavation faces as they're exposed during construction, stage by stage.
Shotcrete Facing
Reinforced shotcrete facing applied over the nailed slope for a finished, stable surface.
Engineered Nail Pattern
Nail length, spacing and angle designed to match the slope's soil condition and height.
Why Choose AES for Soil Nailing
Faster Than Retaining Walls
Soil nailing is installed as the excavation progresses, without waiting on a separate structure.
Engineering-Backed Design
Every nailing pattern is designed for the slope's actual soil and height, not a standard spacing.
