Optimizing Retaining Structures in Urban Excavations: Insights from GEO5 Sheeting Design and Sheeting Check

Excavation Design, GEO5, Solutions / By

Urban infrastructure projects, such as installing sewer pipes, often face significant challenges, especially when traditional open trench excavation methods are employed in high-traffic areas. These methods can cause severe disruptions, affecting traffic flow, local businesses, and overall public convenience, which leads to increased project costs and public dissatisfaction. To address these issues, trenchless technologies like […]
