Reinforcing Ground. Creating Stability. 

Soil Nailing  

we specialise in soil nailing - using grouted, tension-resisting steel elements to reinforce soils and create stable retaining systems for permanent and temporary applications. 

Our IRATA-qualified teams deliver soil nailing solutions using state-of-the-art drilling equipment and proven techniques. Operating fully within CDM, HSE, and industry standards, we combine advanced geotechnical expertise with cutting-edge plant to prevent ground movement before it becomes a problem.

When ground conditions demand reinforcement, RAS delivers engineered soil nailing systems designed for lasting stability and infrastructure protection. 

Expert Soil Nailing Solutions 

  • We prevent slope failures and remediate landslide-affected areas by reinforcing soil structures with soil nails, drainage systems, and surface treatments to restore long-term ground stability.

  • Our engineered support systems reinforce temporary and permanent excavations, allowing for safe construction in challenging ground conditions by preventing wall collapse and soil movement.

  • We design, build, and rehabilitate retaining walls using soil nails, anchors, and facing systems to support earth pressures and restore the integrity of existing failed structures.

  • Our temporary support and shoring systems provide safe access and structural stability during construction phases, ensuring compliance and reducing excavation-related risks.

  • We drill and grout high-strength steel bars into soil or rock, forming tension-resistant reinforcements that increase the shear strength of the ground and prevent displacement.

  • We incorporate surface and subsurface drainage systems into soil nailing designs to control water flow, reduce pore pressure, and improve overall slope stability.

  • We perform on-site testing and verification of soil nail performance to confirm load capacity and compliance with design specifications, ensuring long-term structural reliability.
