What it does
The SOE Design Platform locked to soldier pile & lagging: effective-stress pressures, cantilever toe search, section and lagging optimisation, props, tiebacks and rakers, deflection checks and a full step-by-step Word/PDF calculation report.
Features
- Cantilever-auto toe search and supported-wall analysis
- 181 W-sections + 16 timber lagging sections, auto-optimised
- Props, tiebacks, rakers and deadman support checks
- Deflection estimate with fixity calibration
- Cost estimate with editable Texas rates and takeoff
- Branded Word (.docx) and PDF calculation reports
How it works
- Enter soils, geometry and groundwater
- Pick sections or let the optimiser choose
- Check utilisation, deflection and supports
- Export the branded calculation report

Worked example — NULU Crossing, 17 ft cantilever
The benchmark design ships in the app as an example. A 17 ft retained height in silty clay over loose sand, designed as a cantilever soldier pile wall at 8 ft spacing. The app reproduces the published GEI calculation: Mmax 772.56 kip-ft at z = 27.83 ft, Sx required 280.93 in³, deflection 1.42 in — and the optimiser finds a lighter W30X108 that also passes.
