Soil Nail Contractor in Malaysia.

Geotechnical contractor and geotech specialist for slope repair, slope rectification, and slope reinforcement. Infraconcrete is a leading soil nail contractor in Malaysia. We design and install soil nailing systems for slope reinforcement using high-strength steel bars, drilled at engineered angles and grouted in place to lock the soil mass against sliding. Engineered for tropical climate, seismic zones, and live-traffic corridors. Built in-house to BS 8006-2, FHWA-NHI-14-007, Eurocode 7, and JKR specifications. CIDB G7 (highest grade). ISO 9001:2015 certified. 100+ delivered projects, 5 million m² of slope stabilized across 9+ Malaysian states. Trusted by property developers, consulting engineers, C&S and M&E consultants, geotechnical consultants, quantity surveyors, main contractors, and government agencies (JKR, LLM, MOW, KKR).

Engineer's note Soil nailing is the most cost-effective slope reinforcement for Malaysian residual soil cuts. The detail engineers get wrong most often isn't the bar grade - it's installation sequencing (top-down 2-3 m lifts) and the grout-to-bar bond.

06 / Why us

One specialist team, concept to handover.

In-house from drilling to facing

We don't sub the geotechnical work to chains of vendors. The drilling crew, the grouting team, the shotcrete crew, and the supervisor are Infraconcrete. That's why programmes hold and quality is consistent across the 100+ projects we've delivered.

CIDB G7 + ISO 9001:2015

CIDB G7 (Reg. 0120220822-WP104845) with B04, CE01/06/08/21/36, M15. ISO 9001:2015 certified by ARS Assessment under UAF/IAF accreditation. Eligible for any tier of public and private project in Malaysia.

Design-build comfortable

We work natively as the specialist contractor under your C&S or geotechnical consultant. We also take direct design-build appointments from developers, authorities, and main contractors when the brief calls for a single accountable specialist.

Live-traffic and tight-site delivery

EKVE, ECRL, dense urban hillsides, we plan and execute soil nailing under live highway closures, near-occupied buildings, and adjacent to live services. Method statements and TMP are part of every proposal.

07 / FAQ

What engineers usually ask first.

What is soil nailing? +
A slope reinforcement technique. High-strength steel bars are drilled into the soil at engineered angles, grouted in place, and the face is finished with shotcrete or facing panels. The reinforced soil mass behaves as a coherent block that resists sliding and rotational failure.
When is soil nailing the right call? +
Cut slopes, retained excavations, and existing slopes showing distress, especially where major excavation or full retaining wall reconstruction is not practical. It works on cohesive and granular soils, weathered rock, and is often combined with guniting, rock bolting, and horizontal drains.
What standards do you design and install to? +
Designs typically reference BS 8006-2, FHWA-NHI-14-007 (Soil Nail Walls Reference Manual), Eurocode 7, and JKR specifications for highway and government works. We coordinate with the appointed C&S or geotechnical consultant on parameters and submit method statements per the contract spec.
How long does it take on a typical site? +
Site-dependent. A 1,000 m² residential cut slope typically takes 4-6 weeks from mobilization to handover. A 20,000 m²+ government slope programme runs 6-12 months. Mobilization in emergency conditions can be days. A detailed programme is attached to every proposal.
Do you do design-build or only construction? +
Both. Many consulting engineers and C&S consultants engage us as the specialist contractor under their design. Developers and authorities also appoint us directly under design-build, where we lead the geotechnical design and construction. We prefer to be involved from concept rather than tender.
Typical bar diameter, length, and spacing? +
Common ranges (verified per design): bar diameter Y20-Y32 high-yield steel, hole diameter 100-150 mm, length 6-15 m depending on slope geometry and soil parameters, spacing 1.5-2.5 m horizontally and vertically, grout cementitious to 30 N/mm² minimum, inclination 10-15° below horizontal. Final values come from the design analysis.
Can soil nailing be done under live traffic? +
Yes. We deliver soil nailing on live highway corridors using staged closures and lane management approved by the Highway Authority. EKVE and ECRL are examples, both delivered without halting traffic.
How is the face finished? +
Most commonly with shotcrete (guniting) reinforced with welded mesh, finished with weep pipes and chute drains. For environmentally sensitive sites we use vegetated erosion mats over the mesh. Face design follows the design engineer's specification.
Is load testing included? +
Yes. We perform pull-out tests on sacrificial nails per BS 8006 / FHWA recommendations to verify bond capacity and design assumptions. Results are reported back to the consultant before production nails proceed.
What does soil nailing cost? +
Varies by site geometry, soil conditions, and finishing. We quote per m² of finished face plus per-metre nail rates after site assessment. For budget estimates ahead of consultant engagement, share rough slope geometry on WhatsApp and we'll respond same day.

Have a slope that needs to hold?

Send the rough geometry, soil report (if you have one), and the constraint, live traffic, tight site, schedule, anything. Same-day response from the engineering team. No brochure, just a straight answer.
