DESIGN BUILD EARTH RETENTION
CONTROL THE GROUND. PROTECT THE PROJECT.
Temporary and permanent excavation support systems built around the demands of the project.
Empire provides earth retention systems for temporary and permanent applications where excavation support, site constraints and adjacent structures demand a dependable solution. From soldier pile and lagging walls to sheet piling and tieback-supported systems, we bring the equipment, field experience and installation capability to take on challenging excavations support projects.
BUILT FOR CHALLENGING CONDITIONS
CORE CAPABILITES
TIEBACKS & ANCHORED SYSTEMS
Helical and grouted tiebacks for increased wall capacity, movement control and deeper excavations.
SOLDIER PILE & LAGGING
Driven or drilled soldier pile systems with timber lagging for temporary and permanent excavaton support.
SHEET PILING
Driven steel sheet pile systems for earth retention, excavation support, cofferdams and continuous wall applications.
BRACING & INTERNAL SUPPORT
Walers, struts and project-specific bracing where property lines, utilities or access restrict tiebacks.
DESIGN + VALUE ENGINEERING
ENGINEERED AROUND THE PROJECT
Every excavaton presents a different combination of retained height, surcharge loading, soil conditions, groundwater, access and adjacent improvements. Empire can coordinate delegated design and sealed earth retention submittals though qualified engineering partners, developing installation criteria around the actual project conditions.
VALUE ENGINEERING
We work with the project teams to identify practical alternatives in pile size, spacing, wall type, anchoring and installation methods that can improve constructibility and reduce overall project cost while maintaining the required design performance.
