Eco Foundations can provide soil mixed walls for a variety of purposes, including; basement construction, cofferdams and flood defence schemes.

The soil mix is made from a range of granular materials and cement slurry. Soil mixed walls provide strength for retention and are extremely economical. They save cost on the supply of aggregates as host soils are used.

Please visit their website for more information on soil mixed walls.  

Eco Foundations offer many options for flood barrier walls.

Flood barrier walls can be installed by utilising wet soil mixing techniques. This method is suitable for all types of flood defence and flood alleviation schemes.

They also offer sheet piling to form flood barrier walls. They can use traditional methods of sheet piling or, alternatively, use a silent vibrationless system where required.

Deep soil mixing is a form of ground improvement. It is where an area of very soft soil is mixed with a dry binder or a wet slurry to make the ground more stable. This process is carried out on site and making it an excellent method for this form of ground improvement.

Eco Foundations can carry out deep soil mixing at a depth of 6 metres using the aforementioned method. They can use other systems to carry out deep soil mixing at depths lower than 6 metres.

For more information on deep soil mixing, please visit Eco Foundations' website.

Cofferdams are typically used as retaining walls in temporary and permanent situations. They can be circular, square, anchored or propped depending on the site requirements, retained height and the ground conditions.

Eco Foundations can install cofferdams using wet soil mixing techniques and more traditional techniques. For more information on cofferdams, please visit their website.  

Secant piling is used in build embedded retaining walls and is typically used in basement constructions.

Eco Foundations offer hard secant piling as this is a completely waterproof system. Other methods of secant piling are available but are not recommended as they do not provide the same level of verticality and waterproofing.

Please visit their website for more information on secant piling.
