Projects often call for either permanent or temporary earth retention
systems, which usually play a significant role in cost and schedule. In
addition to time and money, an inherent concern with shoring systems is the
risk associated with the potential for earth movement. Subsurface
Constructors has the engineering capabilities to design a system that is
both practical and economical for the geotechnical conditions.
Subsurface Constructors has installed temporary shoring systems for several
recent large construction projects in the St. Louis area. One of these
projects was the Metrolink Cross County Expansion, which consisted of
approximately 440,000 square feet of wall face, spanning about 1.4 miles of
the alignment. Subsurface provided the design and construction of several
types of shoring for cuts through varying soils, reaching a maximum height
of about 40 feet in some areas.
Subsurface is an experienced design-builder of the following earth retention systems:
