Soil Nailing and Soil Nail Wall Contractor

Soil Nailing and Soil Nail Wall Contractor

Soil nail wall construction for excavation support, slope stabilization, and landslide repair. Discuss your drawings, ground conditions, and site access with our team to plan drilling, grouting, facing, and drainage work.

Overview

Soil Nail Construction for Your Project

Rock Supremacy works with owners, general contractors, and project engineers on soil nail walls for roadway cuts, excavation support, and slope repair. Discuss the wall geometry, ground conditions, available working space, and construction sequence before selecting an installation approach. Our soil nailing technique guide explains the method and its design considerations.

At Lava Hot Springs, we installed a tiered soil nail wall with horizontal drains for a slope threatening the hot springs and adjacent highway. At Terwilliger Plaza, crews combined soil nail installation, mesh, shotcrete, and drainage on a constrained urban slope next to an occupied residential building.

For a proposal discussion, send the project location, wall plans and sections, geotechnical report if available, temporary or permanent requirements, and target bid and construction dates. Identify equipment access, overhead restrictions, nearby utilities and structures, and any limits on reinforcement extending beyond the site. Include facing, drainage, and testing specifications when available.

If your project requires a different earth retention system, explore our shoring and excavation support services. For a soil nail construction inquiry, contact our team with the available project information; note any design documents that are still in progress.

Questions

Soil Nailing FAQ

Cost per square foot depends on wall height, ground conditions, nail length and spacing, access, corrosion protection, drainage, and facing. Share the drawings and geotechnical report so we can price the actual wall scope, including testing and finish requirements.
Soil nail walls are constructed in stages as excavation progresses. Each stage includes drilling, nail placement, grouting, drainage, and facing. The design, site access, curing, and testing requirements determine the sequence and overall schedule.
Both delivery models work. On design-build projects we partner with geotechnical engineers to deliver a sealed design covering nail length, spacing, corrosion class, drainage, and facing, all to FHWA NHI-14-007 and AASHTO LRFD requirements. On design-bid-build projects we install per the engineer of record's plans and provide constructability and value-engineering input. We can also do peer review during the design phase if your engineer wants a builder's perspective before documents go out for bid.
Permanent and temporary soil nail walls have different service requirements. Corrosion protection, facing, drainage, and maintenance are selected for the design life specified by the project engineer.
Soil nailing performs well in stiff to hard cohesive soils, dense sand and gravel, weathered rock, and residual soils with at least short-term cut-face stand-up time. It is the dominant earth-retention method for highway cuts in clayey silt, glacial till, decomposed granite, and competent fill. Soil nailing is challenged by clean loose dry sands without cohesion, where the cut face will not stand up between lifts, soft clays with low shear strength, organic soils, and saturated soils below the water table without dewatering. Pre-design borings and soil testing identify these conditions before installation begins.
Yes. Soil nail walls are constructed top-down without excavating or working behind the wall face, which is the key reason they are specified for tight urban excavations and lots where buildable area must be maximized. Property-line construction does require permission to install nails extending into adjoining property, usually handled through a temporary subterranean easement coordinated with survey and title teams. For sites where no easement is possible, soldier pile walls with tieback anchors confined to the parcel are a common alternative.
The project specification sets verification and production testing requirements, test loads, and acceptance criteria. Testing records the load and movement of the nails to check that the installed reinforcement meets the design requirements.
Wall height depends on the ground conditions, loading, nail layout, and available space. Some projects combine soil nails with anchors or other support systems. We review the design and excavation sequence to assess the construction scope.
Send the project location, wall dimensions or plans, geotechnical information, access constraints, and bid and construction dates. Include facing, drainage, testing, and temporary or permanent requirements if available. Tell us whether you have an engineered design or want to discuss design-build delivery, and identify any missing information so we can define the next step.

"When it comes to heavy foundation anchoring and stabilization projects, these guys are superb. Although the majority of the company's jobs involve heavy civil work, my project required their skills and specialized equipment for a challenging residential cliffside application. After careful review and critique of our plans, as well as assuring that expectations were fully understood, the work began on time and was completed ahead of schedule with minimal trauma along the way. In all, the job required the installation of ten horizontal deep rock anchors, several vertical piles, and shotcrete encapsulation. I highly recommend Rock Supremacy's services and would definitely use them again."

Residential Slope Stabilization
"We engaged Rock Supremacy for a very challenging cliffside project that involved the stabilization and reinforcement of a retaining wall which ultimately required a total of ten drilled horizontal rock anchors, multiple vertical stabilization pilings and encapsulation with concrete structural reinforcement. Even though my residential project, as large as it was to me, was of a much smaller scale than the company often deals with, it approached the task with all of the consideration and professionalism I could hope for. Notably, they were not hesitant to take on a challenging terrain even with its limited access. From the outset, Corey Muir was very engaged in the project and with finding workable solutions. He was eager to explore alternative options for accomplishing the goals and worked diligently with my engineering consultants to tweak the design for a practical, affordable solution. Throughout the planning process, he maintained excellent communications with myself and our structural engineers. Corey was careful to make sure, prior to our final agreement, that all details were fully understood. The company began the project exactly when anticipated. The on-site crew, David, Nate and Jules proved to be the "A" team. They are very skilled and professional. I found them considerate, easy to interact with, and flexible with regard to change possibilities. The team showed careful concern for my property and all possible avoidance of collateral damage while completing a job that involved some very heavy equipment. When the concrete supplier was unduly delayed, they took it in stride and made the best of the situation. The job was actually finished a little ahead of schedule. Definitely a five star rating for this group, I would be happy to further discuss my experience with anyone contemplating the use of Rock Supremacy's services."
