Beam and Lagging Walls
With over 50 years of experience, Nicholson Construction Company has developed industry-leading expertise with all types of geotechnical construction techniques used for temporary excavation support and reinforcement of in-place foundations – including the use of beam and lagging anchored retaining walls.
Nicholson’s talented team of design and build experts are often called on to deliver beam and lagging anchored retaining wall solutions on a range of projects. Based on the individual situation, our experts design retention structures that minimize disturbance to existing structures and allow construction to continue to continue safely.
Beam and lagging anchored retaining walls are commonly used to support open excavations and restrict lateral movements. They also provide an increased factor of safety to nearby structures and utilities against excessive deformations and loss of bearing capacity.
Temporary beam and lagging anchored walls typically consist of H-beams driven or drilled into the ground with wood lagging installed between the flanges of the beams to retain the soil. With the use of tieback anchors as bracing, they can provide an unobstructed area for construction. Permanent beam and lagging anchored walls require the H-beams to be concreted in a drilled hole to better maintain alignment. Pre-cast lagging is typically used instead of wood for a longer service life. Corrosion protection is added to the anchors.
