Soldier Piling Services
Soldier Piles, also known as Soldier Pile and Lagging (SPW) systems, are a flexible and cost-effective earth-retention solution widely used in the UAE for temporary excavation support, shoring works, and basement construction. At APCC, soldier piling systems are installed to provide safe and efficient ground support for projects across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and the wider UAE.
This system is particularly suitable for projects requiring fast installation, adaptability to varying ground conditions, and controlled excavation support, especially in urban construction environments.
How Soldier Piling Works
Soldier piling consists of vertical steel sections (soldier piles) installed at regular intervals to form the primary structural support of the retaining system.
Installation of Soldier Piles
Drilling boreholes and placing steel H-beams or I-beams, followed by concreting or driving steel sections directly into the ground, depending on soil conditions and project requirements
Advantages of Soldier Piling in the UAE
Cost-effective solution for temporary shoring works
Flexible design adaptable to varying site conditions
Faster installation compared to continuous retaining walls
Suitable for urban excavations and basement projects
Can be combined with anchoring systems for deeper support
