You all know very
well that soil has a tendency to move which may cause some very serious
problems to you and these unstable soil slopes generally tend to make the
surface unfriendly for you to walk on. In such a case, the best option that you
have is soil
nailing which is a very simple procedure that helps you in preventing
the flow of soil from sloping surfaces by trapping it inside a particular area.
There are different
types of techniques that are being used for putting the nails in the soil and
here are some brief looks on some of these techniques which you may use if you
have the problem of soil movement from the slopes:
Self drilling nails in soil:
This is one of the best
procedures which is being used for controlling the movement and makes use of
the hollow bars that are been drilled inside the surface. At the same time,
grout is also inserted inside the surface. The reason why it is so popular is
that it is much quicker when compared to the grouted drilling. In addition to
this, it also helps you to have better resistance against the corrosion to the
soil nails.
Launched nails:
It is another very
common technique for the soil control in which heavy steel bars are drilled
inside the surface. The process is very expedited and makes use of the
compressed air pressure mechanism but is actually a bit complex as it is tough
to have a control on the whole length during drilling.
