Retention Systems

Malcolm’s comprehensive range of earth retention solutions creates underground space, supports existing buildings, and stabilizes slopes.

The Malcolm portfolio of retention systems allows for safe and efficient excavations that address diverse challenges, including high groundwater, sensitive adjacent structures, as well as noise and vibration constraints. Construction methods offered include efficient temporary shoring solutions such as soil nails or soldier piles and lagging walls. When excavation support needs to combine with groundwater cut-off, wall options include soil mixing, secant piling, or diaphragm walls. These very stiff walls are also regularly employed to limit deformation of nearby structures and facilities.

Malcolm’s experience and specialized resources can select, design, and construct systems tailored to your needs. Every construction project has unique requirements. Site, geotechnical, and groundwater conditions must be evaluated with consideration for schedule, environmental, and physical constraints to select the optimal construction approach for each case. Malcolm’s extensive experience, personnel, and equipment resources allow them to optimize safe and cost-effective retention solutions for every project. The following pages present an overview of the technologies offered and illustrate Malcolm’s expertise.
