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 & 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.
