Soil Nailing / Soil Nails

Soil nailing is a method often used to stabilise soil slopes in corridors and cuttings in a range of construction and mining environments. The soil nail is effective in penetrating a loose upper soil layer and is secured in the stable ground beneath. Specialised Geo’s team of experts apply soil nails using the latest products and technology for slope and ground stabilisation to suit temporary and permanent requirements.

When is soil nailing needed?

Soil nailing may be necessary in all types of construction and mining environments but it is most commonly used in corridors, embankments and cuttings. Soil nailing is also effective as a remedial measure for stabilising existing retaining walls and slopes. Specialised Geo uses the latest soil nail products and techniques to ensure the integrity and longevity of any project requiring this method of slope or ground stabilisation.

What is soil nailing and how does it work?

Soil nailing is a technique used to stabilise new or existing soil slopes and ground surfaces. Soil nails are typically a rigid bar that is installed into pre-drilled holes penetrating the loose top layer, which is then secured in the stable layer beneath and grouted into place.
