Shoring & Retention System Design

Shoring is a temporary or permanent support system that retains earth, water, and adjacent structures during excavation. At Atlas Engineering and Technology Group, we provide comprehensive design services for a wide range of shoring and earth retention systems to meet project-specific requirements across Sydney and Australia. Our Shoring and retention System Design service focuses on delivering safe, efficient, and sustainable solutions tailored to your project’s specific challenges.

Effective shoring design requires detailed geotechnical analysis, an understanding of site constraints, and practical experience and knowledge of NSW regulations. Our engineers use advanced analytical methods and software tools to develop safe, efficient, cost-effective solutions.

Overview of Our Services

Our experienced team ensures that every design adheres to rigorous safety standards and meets regulatory requirements. We work closely with clients to understand site conditions and design needs, offering a comprehensive service that includes:

Retention System Types

We design a wide range of shoring and retention systems, including:

1. Soldier Pile and Lagging Walls - Cost-effective for temporary applications in various soil conditions
2. Sheet Pile Walls - Suitable for waterfront structures and excavations below groundwater
3. Secant and Tangent Pile Walls - Ideal for deep excavations in urban environments
4. Soil Nail Walls - Efficient top-down construction method for temporary and permanent applications
5. Anchored and Braced Systems - Additional lateral support for deep excavations
6. Diaphragm Walls - Robust solution for challenging ground conditions and deep excavations
7. Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) Walls - Cost-effective permanent retention structures

Our Approach

Our design methodology combines rigorous geotechnical analysis with practical construction considerations to develop retention systems that:

• Ensure excavation stability and worker safety
• Protect adjacent structures and infrastructure
• Optimize construction efficiency and material usage
• Meet regulatory requirements and industry standards
• Balance technical requirements with project economics
• Site Assessment: Detailed investigation of soil and subsurface conditions.
• Structural Analysis: Advanced techniques to compute load distribution and material performance.
• Design Optimization: Custom solutions aimed at balancing safety, functionality, and cost-effectiveness.
• Quality Assurance: Continuous monitoring and testing throughout the project lifecycle.

Our Process

1. Initial Consultation: Understand project requirements and site-specific challenges.
2. Data Collection & Analysis: Gather key geotechnical data from site investigations.
3. Conceptual & Detailed Design: Develop preliminary models and final design solutions.
4. Review & Implementation: Continuous assessment to ensure compliance and performance during construction.

Quality Assurance and Compliance

All our shoring designs comply with relevant Australian standards and local regulatory requirements. We implement rigorous quality control procedures throughout the design process and provide construction monitoring services to ensure proper implementation.

Project Experience

Our team has successfully designed retention systems for:

• Multi-level basement excavations
• Infrastructure projects (road cuttings, bridge abutments)
• Waterfront structures
• Remediation projects
• Industrial facilities
