Soil Nailing for Slope Stability in Cold Storage Facility: A Comprehensive Approach

At FIDUS ENGINEERING, we recently addressed the challenge of stabilizing high excavated slopes at a cold storage facility using a specialized solution: soil nailing and shotcrete. This approach is not only resource-efficient but also technically superior to conventional methods, offering long-term stability for high slopes.

What is Soil Nailing and Shotcrete?

Soil nailing involves inserting steel bars into the slope, which are then secured with grout. Coupled with shotcrete—a reinforced concrete layer applied to the slope—this method reinforces the soil and protects against erosion, providing immediate and lasting stabilization.

Why Choose This Approach?

The FIDUS team’s solution of soil nailing and shotcrete is a highly effective alternative to traditional stabilization techniques. It reduces the need for extensive excavation, is quicker to implement, and minimizes environmental impact while ensuring the cold storage facility remains secure against potential slope failures.

Key Benefits

• Cost-Effective: More affordable and less invasive than traditional methods.

• Environmentally Friendly: Minimizes disruption to the surrounding area.

• Efficient and Durable: Provides lasting reinforcement with minimal resource use.
