Soldier pile-supported excavation is a standard practice in geotechnical engineering, but the focus remains on conducting faster analyses and minimizing material usage, such as steel piles, timber, and anchors, to reduce both analysis time and material costs.

PLAXIS is an effective tool for optimizing soldier pile support design, helping to prevent overdesign and ensuring faster installation and cost savings.

Join our product expert Richard Witasse and Jody Robinson from DRS Engineering for a live PLAXIS webinar. Jody will present a case study showcasing the use of PLAXIS 2D and 3D to simulate shoring with soldier piles, lagging, tiebacks, and bracing. Join us for a live webinar to discover how PLAXIS can effectively help you save time and money during support of excavation (SOE) analysis.

What you will learn:

Streamlining the design of soldier pile walls using PLAXIS
Selecting soldier pile support system elements from the PLAXIS library for the most precise analysis
User-friendly interpretation and visualization of the results from a soldier pile support system

Date/Time: August 13, 2025 12:00 PM EDT

Speakers: Antonio Soldo, Products Sales Engineer, Bentley Systems, Inc., Jody Robinson Principal Geotechnical Engineer, DRS Engineering, Richard Witasse Principal Application Engineer-Seequent, Seequent, The Bentley Subsurface Company
