OUR SERVICES

YORK1 auger drilling into soil

Soldier piles & lagging Planning

We use vertical steel piles installed in regular intervals and founded into competent ground. Hardwood lagging elements are placed horizontally between these beams, acting as a barrier to hold back soil and other materials, preventing collapse and providing support to the excavation.

SECANT / caisson PILE WALLS

Unlike a lagging system, a secant wall utilizes interlocking reinforced concrete piles to form a continuous vertical barrier.

Rock, and soil anchors

We stabilize slopes and structures with tiebacks and anchors, ensuring long-term reliability and strength.

shotcrete SHORING

Utilizing shotcrete allows us to form a strong and durable layer, providing structural support and stability to the surrounding soil or rock.
