CHANCE® Soil Screws
Fast, Reliable Earth Retention for Permanent and Temporary Walls

MaurerCo Retaining Walls installs the CHANCE® Soil Screw® Retention Wall System, an engineered earth retention solution from Hubbell Power Systems, distributed by Foundation Technologies. Designed for efficiency, this system reinforces soil in conjunction with a shotcrete facing to form strong, stable gravity walls.

How the System Works

The CHANCE® Soil Screw acts in bearing mode rather than the friction mode used by traditional grouted anchors. Each soil screw is advanced into the earth where its helical bearing plates engage stable soil, creating resistance against movement or collapse. This method allows the construction of permanent or temporary walls quickly and with minimal excavation.

 

Once installed, a shotcrete face is typically applied to lock the system in place and complete the structural wall. This pairing produces a reliable, gravity-type retaining wall ideal for commercial, residential, and infrastructure applications.

  • Cost-Effective: Reduced drilling, grouting, and curing time.
  • Bearing Mode Action: Provides dependable capacity with minimal soil disturbance.
