Soil nailing

Soil nailing is a technique used to stabilize and reinforce slopes or excavation walls in soil or rock. It involves inserting steel bars, called nails, into the ground at various angles, then securing them with grout or shotcrete. These nails act like reinforcements, holding the soil together and preventing movement or collapse. Soil nailing is commonly used in construction projects, such as tunnels, retaining walls, and slope stabilization, because it is minimally invasive, cost-effective, and can adapt to varying ground conditions while providing long-term stability.
