Support of excavation pits

Project of anchor support works

  1. Primary information:
    • hydrogeology report
    • static loads
    • building constructions
  2. Determination of the loads, the amont and the density of the ancors.
  3. Assignment of anchor type system on the basis of the determined loads.
  4. Assignment of the borehole diameter, the pinning core lenght and the type of the injection material on the basis of the determined loads.
  5. Constructive documentation of the anchor support works.

Pecularity of the anchor support works

  1. Drainage of underground waters.
  2. Presence of underground communications - lengt of the anchors.
  3. Quality of excavation works - width of the spry concrete.
  4. Overcoming of local landslides - duration and quality of the support works.
  5. Support work technology for excavation pits deeper than 8 m. - duration of the support works.

Scheme of the excavation pit support works

Example of whole anchor support process - step by step

Step 1: Drainage, water isolation works.

Step 2: Excavation works and creation of surface layer spry concrete with width ≤ 2 cm.

Step 3: Anchor works. Mounting of steel networks and soil nails.

Step 4: Spry concrete works. Covering the steel networks with spry concrete with width ≤ 25 cm.

Етап 5: Excavation to the next level. Supporting works for the next level of the slope or finishing of the entire process.
