Basement excavations
Soil nails, mesh and shotcrete facing for deep basements of apartments, offices and tech parks, built in stages as the excavation goes down.
Basement excavations, rock cuts, slopes and old water tanks across Bengaluru, secured with sprayed concrete by our own crew. One local team for soil nails, mesh and shotcrete, from the first cut to the last layer.
Bengaluru builds down. We keep the sides standing.
Apartment towers and tech parks across Bengaluru now go two, three and four basements deep, often right up to the boundary with a neighbouring building or road. There’s no room to slope the cut, so the excavation face has to be held vertical, safely, as the dig goes down.
The city’s ground makes this a job for shotcrete: red soil and murrum over weathered rock, then hard granite. Soil nails and mesh hold the softer layers, shotcrete seals the face, and the rock is protected against spalling. Exposed cuts are covered quickly, before the monsoon can wash them out.

Sealing granite and weathered rock faces after excavation, so loose pieces and water don’t come through.
Vertical cuts beside existing buildings, compound walls and roads, where open sloping isn’t possible.
Dry-mix guniting to restore cover and stop leaks in overhead tanks, sumps and old concrete structures.
Shotcrete facing on road-widening cuts, ramps and site slopes to stop erosion in the rains.
New facings and repairs on retaining walls and storm-water drain walls.
We visit the plot, look at the soil and rock, neighbouring structures and drawings, and discuss your excavation schedule.
You get a clear method, with nail pattern, mesh and shotcrete thickness to the design, and a per-square-metre quote.
The cut goes down one lift at a time, so only a short height of face is ever open.
Each lift is nailed, meshed and sprayed before the next one is dug, keeping pace with your excavator.
Weep holes and drainage strips go in with the facing, so rainwater has a way out.
The finished face is cured and checked, ready for your basement construction to start.

All of Bengaluru and its outskirts, including:
Yes. Our Bengaluru office is in Nagarabhavi, and our crews work across the city and its outskirts, from Whitefield and Electronic City to Hebbal, Yelahanka, Devanahalli, Mysuru Road and Tumakuru Road.
It depends on the area, thickness, whether mesh and soil nails are needed, and access to the face. We quote per square metre after a site visit, so the price matches the actual work.
Yes, with care. Exposed cuts are protected quickly and drainage is built in so water doesn’t build up behind the facing. Spraying pauses during heavy rain and resumes once the surface is fit.
Yes. Most basement jobs combine soil nails, mesh and shotcrete, done in stages as the excavation goes down. Where loads are higher, we add ground anchors.
Send the site location, excavation depth and drawings if you have them. We’ll visit from our Nagarabhavi office and send a method and per-square-metre quote.
