ChallengeBuilding soil nail and soldier pile walls into a steep slope.

OverviewCondon-Johnson was contracted to construct a 34 foot tall soil nail wall with soldier pile return walls on each end to allow for a new residential structure to be built into the existing slope.

ResultsThe work required close coordination with the general contractor and their excavation contractor to allow for sequenced installation of soldier piles as the soil nail wall and excavation progressed. A Lodril was used to reach the soldier piles that were difficult to access. The wall was finished off with a reinforced shotcrete facing with a rubber float finish.
