Struts are bracing pipes or steel beams that act to prop the internal sides of an excavation. They are usually used in combination with anchors to provide tie-back systems of deep excavations. Struts are generally used when then installation of anchors are not possible due to their potential interference with service corridors or with the foundations of adjacent structures.
