I completed an innovative design using coupled geogrid and soil nails to allow construction of a 6m high vegetated wall within a 1.50m wide excavation without the use of concrete. I also progressed a temporary works design utilising the permanent soil nails to allow the space-restricted excavation to be conducted safely.
