A Berlin wall is recommended when it’s necessary to support excavation walls temporarily or permanently. This method is particularly useful in urban environments where nearby structures or space limitations complicate excavation work.
Here are the main scenarios where a Berlin wall is appropriate:
- Narrow excavation sites: where there is no room for natural slope creation.
- Close proximity to existing buildings: to protect adjacent structures during construction.
- Urban construction projects: with tight site access and space constraints.
- Deep excavations: such as for basements, underground garages, or special foundations.
- Unstable or loose soil conditions: requiring immediate support to prevent collapse.
Berlin walls offer a flexible solution tailored to site configuration and project needs. To find out if this system is right for your job site, contact Heneault Gosselin.
