Description

Soldier piles are construction systems, which consist of piles (vertical beams), combined with coating (most commonly wood). Soldier piles are constructed as follows:

• Construction of piles at equal intervals (usually 1m);
• Narrow excavation works and installation of coating;
• If necessary – back filling and compaction of the soil behind the coating.

Advantages

• Economically feasible. The soldier piles are one of the cheapest supporting solutions, compared to other construction systems;
• Fast construction;
• Flexibility when building – possible changes along the construction process;
• The construction technology is not complex;
• Possibility for combination with spry concrete;
• Possibility for combination with anchors.
