Temporary Excavation Support ​

Excavation Support Design and Coordination ​

Integrated shoring control solutions designed to keep excavation safe and on schedule ​

D.W. Kozera, Inc. offers coordinated excavation support and dewatering design services that align with the demands of design-build delivery. By addressing soil conditions, groundwater behavior, and construction phasing early in the design process, we help teams develop safe, constructible systems that minimize delays and reduce rework. Our geotechnical engineers collaborate with structural and construction partners to design support systems and dewatering approaches that fit real-world site logistics. ​

This integrated approach streamlines permitting, simplifies construction, and supports seamless transitions from design to field execution. ​

Services Offered ​

  • Preliminary Evaluation of Excavation Depth, Support Needs, and Dewatering Feasibility ​
  • Design of Soldier Pile and Lagging, Sheet Pile, Bracing, and Tieback Systems ​
  • Analysis of Soil Strength, Surcharge Loads, and Groundwater Behavior ​
  • Phased Design for Staged Excavations or Confined Urban Sites ​
  • Integration with Foundation Design, Structural Loads, and Site Access Constraints ​
  • Construction Sequencing Input for Safe Excavation  ​
  • Support During Permitting, Design Submittals, and Field Implementation ​

  • Integrated Design That Matches Field Conditions and Construction Logic ​
    We combine geotechnical and geostrucural analysis with practical construction input to develop excavation support systems that work with your sequencing, access, and safety goals. ​
  • Collaborative Delivery That Keeps Teams Aligned and Projects Moving ​
    Our engineers coordinate closely with structural and construction partners to provide buildable designs, timely responses, and actionable recommendations from concept through installation. ​
  • Trusted Experience in Complex Excavations Across the Mid-Atlantic ​
    From deep basements to urban utilities, we’ve supported excavation efforts on fast-track public, private, and institutional projects with designs grounded in local conditions and real-world constructability. ​

Excavation challenges require coordinated solutions. Contact D.W. Kozera to align your support of excavation needs with the pace and priorities of your next Design Build project. ​
