SERVICES | Soldier Pile and Tieback Shoring Systems

Tiebacks may be used in conjunction with soldier piles to replace the bracing elements of internally braced shoring systems or reduce the pile weight and embedment depth. Tiebacks are constructed by drilling a small diameter shaft, typically at an angle of 15 to 45 degrees from horizontal, into which either steel strands or thread bar is inserted. Grout is then pumped into the shaft, surrounding the tieback steel. Before curing, the whole assembly is stressed against the soldier pile by a hydraulic jack and locked off at specified design load.

Numerous rows of tiebacks may be required depending onthe depth of the excavation. Tieback technology provides for nearly unlimited depth of excavation. However, property and utility lines in close proximity to the site need to be carefully studied prior to utilizing tiebacks on a project.
