Tiebacks are usually needed for excavations deeper than 15 feet, or when there are significant surcharges behind shorter walls.

You may need easements to install tiebacks beyond property lines. Our engineer will draw up plans for the tieback system, or we can use plans made by clients’ engineers. Those plans will include all of the necessary considerations, equipment, crew size, and timeframe for completion.

Tiebacks can be categorized into two main types: high-strength steel bars and strand anchors. The choice between these depends on the project's requirements, including load capacity, site conditions, and the depth of the excavation. For projects requiring higher loads or longer bond zones, strand anchors may be preferable. Our team can provide guidance on selecting the right type of tieback based on the project's specific needs and geological conditions.

Tiebacks offer a significant advantage over other earth retention methods by allowing for controlled and adjustable support to retaining walls. Compared to traditional systems such as soil nails, tiebacks can handle higher loads and are less intrusive to the surrounding environment. They can also work in conjunction with other systems like soldier piles and lagging, providing a more robust solution. Our expertise enables us to integrate tiebacks seamlessly into various earth retention systems, ensuring stability and minimizing movement.
