BHATE Geosciences has extensive experience in providing design consultation for deep excavations across various sectors, including commercial, industrial, manufacturing, and infrastructure projects. These excavations typically range in depth from less than 20 feet to over 85 feet below grade level. With this breadth of expertise, BHATE Geosciences has played a pivotal role in ensuring the stability and safety of construction sites, particularly in challenging environments.

Excavation and shoring design, along with construction monitoring, are critical components of projects that involve tunnels, slopes, and excavations near sensitive structures. Such tasks require careful planning and execution to minimize risk and avoid damage to adjacent structures. To achieve this, BHATE Geosciences places a strong emphasis on gathering reliable, accurate data and applying sound engineering principles.

Preparation of reliable and cost-effective shoring design and construction monitoring services requires sound geotechnical knowledge and expertise with all phases of the work such as:

• Reliable Data on Soil Strength Parameters and Groundwater Conditions. This data forms the foundation for the subsequent steps of design and modeling. With precise soil characteristics, engineers can model the excavation site and assess the potential loads on the shoring system.
• Modeling to Assess the Loads on the Shoring System and Potential Ground Movements. The use of advanced modeling tools helps in predicting these potential issues and designing solutions to mitigate them.
• Monitoring During Construction to Verify Installation and Field Conditions for Consistency with Assumptions of the Design Model

Our project designs have used a variety of shoring design and construction monitoring systems such as:

• Soil Nail Walls – Shotcrete tied back with grouted soil anchors
• Secant walls reinforced with structural elements and tied back
• Sheet pile walls including marine structures and cofferdams
• H-Pile and lagging systems in cantilever or with tiebacks
