Earth Retention
Earth retention is the effort of preventing lateral earth movement caused by excavations, traffic surcharges, water pressure, etc. We offer earth retention solutions consisting of chemical and cement soil grouting, pilings, and tieback anchors.
While there are many construction methods and products used for earth retention purposes, Foundation Professionals of Florida offers permanent and temporary earth retention systems involving soil grouting methods, steel and concrete pilings, as well as a variety of tieback anchor systems.

Common earth retention services:
- Excavation support and shoring
- Landslide mitigation
- Retaining wall repair
- Soil enhancement under structures and roadways
Soil grouting and earth retention
We routinely use chemical grouting to support earth retention excavations adjacent to existing structures. Soil grouting turns loose soils into a solid mass, eliminating or significantly reducing lateral earth movement during excavations. It also reduces groundwater permeability, keeping excavation pits dry when below the water table. Soil grouting can double as an excavation support system and an underpinning system for adjacent structures. It can also be used in addition to pilings. Soil grouting is an ideal earth retention solution in situations where the vibrations from sheet pile driving could cause damage to nearby foundations.
Pilings and earth retention
Piling systems can also enhance soil stability and resist lateral pressures. We install a variety of micropiles which are designed to resist compression, tension, and lateral loads.
Tieback anchors and earth retention
Additionally, we offer helical tieback anchors, wall plate anchors, and deadman anchors to reinforce failing retaining walls, bulkheads, seawalls, and basement walls.
