Soldier piles and lagging are widely used earth retention systems designed to stabilize excavation areas and prevent soil collapse. At Soil Solutions Inc., we install soldier piles by driving or drilling steel H-piles into the ground at regular intervals, followed by the placement of lagging panels between the piles.
Lagging panels, typically made from timber or precast concrete, retain the soil while allowing excavation to proceed safely behind the wall. This system is commonly used for deep excavations in urban construction sites.
