Durawall: A Durable Solution for Challenging Environments

Durawall is a versatile construction technology designed to address the challenges of building in cohesive soil environments. Cohesive soils, such as clay and silt, present unique challenges for construction projects due to their high water content and tendency to expand and contract with changes in moisture levels. These soil conditions can compromise the stability and longevity of traditional structures, making them susceptible to cracking, settling, and other forms of damage.

Durawall consists of prefabricated concrete panels that are installed vertically into the ground to create a retaining wall or foundation system. These panels are specially designed to interlock with each other, creating a strong and stable barrier against soil pressure. Cohesive soils of low plasticity pose a major challenge for the installation of sheet piles. This is primarily caused by their extremely high unit weight, the cohesive force, and the small particles that make them less prone to deformation. Pre-drilling is the simplest method to handle this issue; it involves utilizing an auger drill at the location where the sheet pile is to be pushed later.

One of the key advantages of Durawall is its ability to withstand the pressures exerted by cohesive soils. Regarding our expertise with cohesive soils, we can offer several instances demonstrating that installing sheet piles in even the most difficult soil conditions is feasible with the appropriate tools and methodology. This makes Durawall an ideal choice for projects where soil conditions are challenging, such as in areas with high clay content or frequent moisture fluctuations.

Durawall is a durable and versatile solution for building in challenging environments. Its ability to withstand soil pressures and adapt to different project requirements makes it an ideal choice for a wide range of construction projects.
