STEEL STRUTTING SYSTEMS FOR EXCAVATION & RETAINING WALL SUPPORT

Steel strutting systems are used to provide horizontal support to retaining walls in temporary and permanent excavation works. Commonly applied in basement excavations, cofferdams, underground structures, and deep excavation projects, strutting systems help control wall deflection and maintain excavation stability during construction.

ESC has extensive experience in the design, supply, fabrication, and installation of steel strutting systems across a wide range of project conditions. Typical systems utilize steel tubular struts acting in compression together with H-beam walers to redistribute earth and water pressures efficiently throughout the support structure.

ESC delivers fully customized strutting solutions, including prefabricated components, engineering support, fabrication drawings, construction sequencing, and site assistance to meet project-specific requirements.

Typical Applications

Deep Excavations
Basement Construction
Cofferdams
Underground Structures
Cut-and-Cover Tunnels
Transportation Infrastructure
Utility Installations
Retaining Walls
Marine Construction Projects
Temporary Works Support Systems

Steel strutting systems provide an effective solution for supporting excavation walls where tie-back anchors are impractical or not permitted. By transferring lateral loads across an excavation, strutting systems help maintain excavation stability while protecting adjacent structures, utilities, and infrastructure.

Strutting systems are frequently utilized for deep basements, cut-and-cover tunnels, cofferdams, transportation infrastructure, utility corridors, and waterfront developments. Their flexibility allows configurations to be customized to suit excavation geometry, loading conditions, and construction sequencing requirements.
