Excavation Support Systems

Models can include bored pile walls, shotcrete with anchors, soil nail systems, and retaining walls supported with steel profiles.
The software automatically generates detailed drawings, quantity take-offs, and cost estimates for each system.
For sloped terrain, retaining wall designs can be created step by step to follow the natural topography.
Architectural elevation levels (reference elevations) can be converted to ground levels, and vice versa:
- Convert architectural levels to terrain elevations by assigning the base elevation,
- Convert terrain elevations back to architectural levels as needed.

3D Modeling Features for Excavation Support Systems

Anchored, soil-nailed, steel pipe braced, piled, and reinforced concrete retaining walls can be defined with their cross-sections and elevations, and fully modeled in 3D.
The software can automatically generate stepped retaining walls based on the terrain slope and the number of levels entered by the user.
Anchor plates can be defined as either angled or flat, depending on design requirements.
Connections between steel pipe supports and concrete elements can be modeled using a dedicated connection design macro.
Reinforced concrete retaining walls can be defined in the following types:
- Shotcrete
- Diaphragm walls
- Shaft-type walls
