Soil Nail Launcher, Inc. is a specialty contracting firm operating throughout the United States. Our expertise and proprietary tools including the launcher, modified tools and crane baskets, along with our innovative technologies, worldwide reach, and design/build/warranty service allows us to repair virtually any slope stability problem in any kind of geologic setting.
With our innovative approaches to slope stabilization, it is possible to cut costs in half and cut completion time by 90%, compared to traditional landslide repairs.
The Soil Nail Launcher is a declassified British military cannon that can accelerate a 1.5 inch diameter, 20 foot
long steel bar to 220 miles per hour. As these high speed projectiles enter the earth, a shock wave is
generated at the tip that causes the soil particles to “jump away”. The bar enters the earth without significant abrasion. The soil particles then collapse onto the bar, providing surprisingly high pullout resistance -- many
times greater than for driven bars and rods.
The Soil Nail Launcher is typically mounted on a tracked excavator. It can be mounted on about any vehicle
or crane basket frame. It weighs about 2 tons, making it portable and able to reach remote locations.
About any type of bar can be shot into the ground. We can use solid steel, threaded bar or hollow bars that
can act as drains and also provide tensile capacity. We can galvanize the bars. We can shoot fiberglass nails.
We can pump grout into hollow bars to add capacity and strength. We can add mesh and plates to a
Launched Nail array or spray on a shotcrete facade.
Applications for Launched Soil Nails include shallow landslide mitigation, slope repair, failed piling / retaining
wall repair, headscarp repair, historic rock wall repair, temporary shoring / excavation support, horizontal
drains, scour remediation, ground anchors and tiebacks, cut slope stabilization, road widening, vertical drains,
landslip repair, slump repair and vertical gas venting.
