What Are Soldier Piles and Lagging?
Soldier piles and lagging is a retaining wall system designed to hold back earth, particularly in projects requiring excavation. This system consists of steel beams or reinforced concrete shafts drilled from grade. As excavation progresses, timber lagging or shotcrete is installed in successive lifts, creating a soldier pile retaining wall. In situations requiring additional support, tiebacks are used to stabilize the wall, accommodating both wall height and surcharge loads.
Applications and Benefits of Soldier Piles & Lagging
Our soldier pile wall solutions provide both temporary and permanent earth retention options:
• Flexibility: These walls can be installed in areas with problematic property lines or easements, making them ideal for construction projects in dense urban environments or limited spaces.
• Improved Usable Space: Temporary shoring allows developers to create more usable underground space, which is especially valuable for commercial projects in difficult areas.
• Utility Protection: Soldier pile retaining walls are also ideal for infrastructure projects such as wastewater treatment plants, preventing drilling into congested utilities and safeguarding essential services.
• Durability: Our systems, built from high-quality steel or reinforced concrete, offer long-term stability and reliability, minimizing maintenance needs.

Soldier Piles & Lagging | Frequently Asked Questions
How tall can you cantilever the system?
Typically, about 15 feet can be installed without the need for tiebacks.
Can the system be removed?
Often, yes. However, access or certain system designs can make removal impossible.
How is soldier pile and lagging different from other shoring systems?
Soldier piles and lagging offer a versatile solution for earth retention. Unlike other shoring systems such as diaphragm walls or soil nails, this system combines steel beams or reinforced concrete shafts with timber lagging or shotcrete. This creates a reliable retaining wall that can be adjusted for both temporary and permanent needs, making it particularly effective in space-restricted areas and for projects with challenging site conditions.
What factors influence the choice between temporary and permanent solutions?
The choice between temporary and permanent soldier piles and lagging depends on project requirements, timeline, and budget. Temporary shoring is typically used for short-term projects or where property lines and easements limit other options. Permanent solutions are ideal for long-term stability, particularly for infrastructure projects or developments requiring extended support. In either case, we tailor the system design to suit the project's specific needs, ensuring both safety and efficiency.
