Casagrande 60 foot Drilling and Piling rig used for (S.O.E) Support of Excavation.
Excavation support refers to an engineered solution designed to stabilize an excavation.
Excavation support is generally required for excavations in excess of 6 ft or excavation that are not sloped. Excavation support for deep excavations refers to the additional bracing that is required to stabilize a retaining wall such as a sheet pile when excavation gets typically deeper than 10 to 14 ft
Such excavation support systems comprise tiebacks, cross-lot steel struts, rakers, helical anchors, and top-down concrete slabs.
The role of support systems is to provide lateral bracing for retaining walls.
