Formwork systems
Most parts in the ISCHEBECK formwork systems are made from aluminium. The low weight of the individual components improves safety, reduces fatigue and saves on crane capacities.
Whether a single prop or a complete falsework assembly, ISCHEBECK always supplies economic solutions ideally suited to the needs of building sites.
Geotechnical systems
with TITAN micropiles
One system – many applications
The heart of the system is the self-drilling TITAN micropile, which can be used as a ground improvement measure. Ground improvement by way of the interlocking body of grout enables tension, compression and cyclic loads to be transferred to the in situ soil. TITAN micropiles are covered by National Technical Approval Z-34.14-209 issued by the DIBt. This is the only tubular grouted pile system that can also be used for permanent applications of 100+ years.
Trench shoring systems
The ISCHEBECK trench shoring systems in steel and aluminium meet the requirements for fast progress on site, economic plant use and high safety. The modular system consisting of panels and trench struts ensures good flexibility and solutions to suit the needs of building sites.

FOundations and underpinning
with TITAN micropiles
TITAN micropiles transfer tension, compression and cyclic fluctuating and reversed loads to loadbearing soil strata according to DIN EN 14199.
- Little settlement
- Can also be installed with compact, lightweight plant
- Low-vibration method that does not damage existing buildings
- Ideal on confined sites
- Permanent solution for 100+ years
ANCHORAGES
with TITAN micropiles
The economic alternative to ground anchors
TITAN micropiles can carry tension loads without prestressing and are suitable for temporary and permanent applications (100+ years). Monitoring is unnecessary.
TITAN micropiles are installed to anchor sheet piling, retaining walls or excavation shoring, e.g. for
- flood defence walls, quayside structures and locks
- edge beams, historic masonry and gabion walls
- bearing pile, bored cast-in-place and diaphragm walls
SOIL NAILING
with TITAN micropiles
Self-drilling reinforcing element to DIN EN 14490
TITAN micropiles can be used as self-drilling reinforcing elements for nailing to DIN EN 14490. The hollow steel bars are installed with drilling and flushing fluid and subsequently grouted with a cement suspension in a dynamic process. These create a monolithic composite element together with the surrounding soil and thus function as a ground improvement measure.
The TITAN system ensures permanent corrosion protection and is approved for applications lasting 100+ years.
TUNNELLING & MINING
with TITAN micropiles
ONE SELF-DRILLING SYSTEM – MANY APPLICATIONS
The TITAN system is ideal for all kinds of temporary and permanent stabilisation solutions in tunnelling and mining projects.
- Drilling and installation is one operation
- Especially advantageous in rocks/soils with low cohesion and in unstable boreholes
- Borehole stabilisation with cement slurry (optional)
- Dynamic grouting during drilling (optional)
- Grouting assured over full depth of borehole
- No need to extract drill strings
ONE INSTALLATION METHOD
FOR ALL APPLICATIONS
FOR ALL APPLICATIONS
Irrespective of the ground conditions and the particular application, TITAN micropiles are always installed using the same method.
- Also suitable for changing soil conditions
- No separate casing
- No multi-stage grouting
- Installation according to approval Z-34.14-209
- 1 operation – 2 steps

Slope stabilisation with shotcrete
TEMPORARY & PERMANENT
TEMPORARY & PERMANENT
TITAN micropiles increase the tensile and shear strength of the soil. A nailed and anchored body of soil can be considered and analysed as a monolithic block.
The TITAN system can be used as temporary or permanent support for excavations, cuttings, retaining walls, embankments and critical earth slopes.
Slope stabilisation with nets
TITAN micropiles can be used for the temporary or permanent stabilisation or refurbishment of:
- embankments
- critical earth slopes
- dams
- fill
The TITAN system includes many different head details, also with integral angle compensation, for fixing nets, geotextiles or sheeting.
SECURING & REFURBISHING RETAINING WALLS
TITAN micropiles can be installed to resist in situ earth pressures and reinforce the backfill behind a retaining wall. Historic stone retaining walls can be easily refurbished. At the same time, any voids in the soil and masonry are filled.
The TITAN system is suitable for the permanent anchorage and refurbishment of any type of retaining wall or change in ground level. Many different head details are available, either recessed in or mounted on the surface of the structure.
SPECIAL APPLICATION: DRILL DRAIN®
Drainage of slope seepage water
Drainage of slope seepage water
DRILL DRAIN® is a TITAN filter nail with a grout body that is permeable to air and water and thus ideal for drainage purposes.
- Slope seepage water is intercepted deep within the soil behind the retaining structure and drained away
- No additional hydrostatic pressure on the retaining structure
- Reduction in pore water pressure
- No ice pressure during periods of freezing
