These are usually formed with bored cast-in-situ or Continuous Flight Auger piles. Retaining walls may be temporary or permanent and are used to support the ground, typically to form basement excavations.

​

Embedded walls take two forms either Contiguous (often referred to as ‘Contig’) or secant.  The contiguous wall is made up of piles installed in a row at spaced circa 150mm apart, this gives an earth retention system ideal for dry ground / excavation. 

​

Secant walls are similar to that of a contiguous wall however the piles are overlapped and form an ‘interlock’ through the excavation.  This interlock then inhibits ground water movement during the excavation.
