Secant Interlock Ready Reckoner App

The Walsh Secant Interlock Ready Reckoner App has been created to allow you to visualise diameters and spacing for secant piled walls with reference to current best practice guidance CIRIA C760 and ICE SPERWALL.

The app parametrically generates and visualises a 3D model and 2D plan view plot of a secant piled wall with geometry and resulting values calculated in real-time. This is of particular use to anyone involved in the design and construction of deep basements including structural engineers, geotechnical engineers and contractors as well as Estimators and Quantity Surveyors, 

Please note, the app has been optimised for use on a Desktop and you will need to agree to the terms and conditions below to access.
