Ground retaining works — stabilising and securing structures
Specialists in retaining works for unstable ground and existing structures.
Ground retaining works hold back the soil, stabilise slopes and secure structures exposed to the risk of sliding or settlement. Sirianni Travaux works on technical projects, for private and professional clients, including on difficult-access sites.
Structures tailored to the constraints of the ground and its surroundings
What are ground retaining works?
Retaining works hold back and stabilise masses of soil to prevent any ground movement. They are essential in the presence of slopes, deep excavations or nearby structures.
Depending on the site layout, retaining can be achieved using nailed walls, shotcrete, micropiles or combined solutions, guaranteeing safety and durability. These works prevent slides, secure excavations and protect existing structures.
Why choose retaining works?
Retaining is an essential solution for guaranteeing the stability and safety of ground and structures.
Effective ground stabilisation
Retaining holds back the soil and reduces the risk of sliding.
Protection of existing structures
It secures buildings and infrastructure located close to the ground.
Safe execution
The works are carried out in phases, with constant monitoring of ground stability.
Suited to constrained sites
Retaining works adapt to urban areas, slopes and difficult-access sites.
Expertise in special works
Every solution is studied to suit the ground, the surroundings and the loads to be taken up.
A durable, long-lasting solution
Retaining structures ensure the long-term stability of the ground.
