Screw anchors in soil act as bearing devices as opposed to grouted anchors which rely on friction between the soil and grout. Maloney Construction, Inc. can provide design assistance and be a part of your next “Top down” construction project.
The SOIL SCREW® Retention Wall System reinforces in-situ soil with screw anchors near horizontal. Anchor sizes and grid spacing are determined by soil conditions and load requirements, including intended overburden. The System removes performance uncertainties and associated costs of grouted soil nails in soils of low shear strength.
Advantages of using the CHANCE® Soil Screw® Retention Wall System:
-
Lower installation costs vs. traditional methods
-
Fast, clean installation
-
No grout – immediate loading
-
No spoils to remove
-
Installs in limited access areas
