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
