Sheet Pile walls
What is Sheet Piling?
At MESO, we specialise in the precise installation of cold-formed sheet piles, utilising advanced excavators for shoring applications.
These steel sheets are engineered to lock together tightly, effectively preventing water and soil ingress, and providing robust, durable barriers for structural support and slope stabilisation.
Primarily used in the construction of retaining walls, our sheet piling approach is crucial for maintaining earth retention and preventing erosion across various engineering projects. In addition to its predominant role in retaining wall construction, our rolled steel sheet piling is also adept at building seawalls and flood defense systems, offering a reliable and long-term solution to manage environmental challenges and ensure infrastructure safety.

Why use Sheet Pile walls?
Our diverse range of interlocking sheet piles are skilfully driven into the ground to construct robust retaining wall structures. These sheet piles are crucial in building durable retaining walls, aiding in excavation projects, and ensuring riverbank protection. Our strategic approach enhances site safety and efficiency, making MESO a leader in foundational engineering solutions.

Lagging Walls
Lagging walls are another type of temporary retaining structures used to support the sides of an excavation or trench.
At MESO, we typically use steel lagging walls to prevent soil collapse and protect workers and equipment during excavation work. The purpose of lagging walls is to hold back the soil being excavated until a permanent retaining structure can be put in place.
MESO Solutions' custom-designed lagging wall, built for shoring over rock or in demanding site conditions, ensuring solid and reliable support.
Why choose Lagging Walls?
Lagging walls are normally used as a temporary shoring solution when sheet piling cannot be done.
These structures are crucial for providing stability and safety during the excavation stages of construction, ensuring that operations can proceed smoothly without the risk of soil collapse.
Ideal for various environments where sheet piling is impractical, lagging walls offer a versatile and reliable alternative for maintaining structural integrity temporarily.
Safety enhancement
They provide critical support to the sides of trenches and excavations, protecting workers and equipment from potential soil collapse.Flexibility
Suitable for various site conditions where permanent solutions like sheet piling are impractical or not yet feasible.Efficiency
They allow for the safe and continuous excavation work by holding soil back temporarily until a more permanent structure can be installed.Cost-effectiveness
Often more economical than permanent solutions, lagging walls can be quickly constructed with readily available materials.Adaptability
They can be easily modified, extended, or removed as project needs change, making them ideal for phased construction projects.
Sleeper Walls
Sleeper walls are typically used in situations where the retaining wall does not need to be as deep or as strong as is required for sheet piling.
Our service focuses on the design and installation of retaining walls, and sleeper walls are an integral part of what we offer. We believe that sleeper walls provide the perfect balance of strength and versatility, making them ideal for various types of landscapes and building projects.
Used as a retaining wall to hold back soil and rock, our team has the expertise and experience to ensure that each sleeper wall we build is both durable and long-lasting.
Strength and stability
Concrete sleeper walls are strong and stable, providing a secure solution for retaining soil and other materials.Low maintenance
Sleeper walls require little maintenance, ensuring that they will look great for years to come.Customisable design
Sleeper walls can be designed to meet specific project requirements and can be customised to fit any space or contour.Fast and efficient installation
Concrete sleeper walls can be quickly installed, allowing for speedy project timelines and reducing on-site delays.Aesthetic appeal
Sleeper walls can be stained or painted to match the surrounding environment, making them a visually appealing option for retaining wall construction.
Pits
What are Pits?
A pit is the space excavated below the site’s surface to establish a foundation for structural systems, allowing for additional elements such as underground elevators, supply lines, car stackers, or other subterranean structures.

A deep Pit with bracing
Pits typically require retaining walls like sheet pile walls to maintain stability and prevent collapse during excavation.
In some scenarios, pits might also necessitate additional restraining systems, such as bracing, to support heavy soil loads.
Foundation for complex systems
Structural pits provide a stable base for critical systems like underground car stackers, cranes, supply lines, or elevators.Safe load distribution
With the help of bracing and retaining walls, these pits manage heavy soil loads, ensuring stability and preventing collapse during construction.Space optimisation
Pits are designed to maximise the use of underground spaces, enabling the installation of multi-level car stackers or other subterranean infrastructure.Versatility in design
These pits can be customised to meet specific project requirements, adapting to varied shapes, depths, and structural needs.Durable and safe construction
Engineered with sheet pile walls and bracing systems, structural pits ensure long-term durability and safety for ongoing construction and future usage.
