Soil nail wall construction is typically completed as a "top-down" process of vertical stages of cut and reinforcement. The first segment is created by cutting a five to six foot vertical face along the future wall alignment. A row of horizontal soil nails are drilled and grouted along the lower portion of the cut face on five to six foot centers — depending on soil conditions a tighter spacing ma

y be required. Soil nail heads are left protruding approximately one foot beyond the cut face surface. A layer of shotcrete and mesh reinforcement is applied over the nail heads, and a bearing plate and nut are installed on the soil nails. Once the first vertical section of the wall is complete, a second vertical lift may be constructed. The process may be continued over a series of steps to create walls as high as 35 feet or more.
