Soletanche Bachy offers you the benefit of its experience in internal bracing to provide the most optimised solution according to the needs of your project.<\/p>\n<\/div>

What are struts?<\/h2><\/div>

Struts are supports, generally made of steel or concrete but sometimes also of timber, which are used to retain the walls of a vertical excavation<\/strong>. They are installed inside the excavation as the earthworks progress and generally support each side of the excavation. They can also be angled and supported at the bottom of the excavation, in which case they are referred to as rakers.<\/p>\n

Struts can be used for any type of retaining structure<\/a> \u2013 soldier piles, sheet piles, diaphragm walls<\/a>, secant piles or Soil Mixing<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 and for spans of up to around 30m<\/strong> in the usual cases (struts longer than 30 m can be considered for specific cases with suspended struts or stanchions).<\/p>\n<\/div>

What are the advantages of this technique?<\/p>\n

<\/h2><\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/i><\/div>

It is an economical solution for excavation in dense and restricted urban areas<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n<\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/i><\/div>

Their rigidity reduces movement and so prevents any damage to neighbouring structures<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n<\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/i><\/div>

They can be pre-stressed in the event of very demanding movement criteria<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n<\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/i><\/div>

They do not need to pass through the wall, eliminating water-tightness problems<\/strong><\/p>\n

The environmental benefits <\/i>\n

<\/h2><\/div>

We use two types of struts<\/strong> in the construction of our structures.<\/p>\n
