Urban excavation support system with retaining walls, struts, soil layers, and adjacent structures

Connected Delivery / ELS Design

Excavation & Lateral Support Design

Connect staged excavation data, PLAXIS runs on the Windows worker, wall and support assumptions, design checks, and calculation records in one engineering record.

Best for
Geotechnical and structural engineers coordinating staged excavation design and PLAXIS runs.
Outcome
A staged ELS record connecting build inputs, PLAXIS run state, design checks, and calculation evidence.
Runs in
Browser workspace + Windows worker - PLAXIS required for run stage
Requirements
Build and design use the AEIS worker; PLAXIS execution requires the configured licensed desktop environment.

Controlled Windows worker evidenceA configured Windows worker handles licensed tool stages, with run state, logs, and outputs attached. Primary signal: Run state, logs, outputs.

Evidence surface

Inspect the working evidence.

Review the product capture, then use the checklist for what a qualified engineer can verify before handoff.

  • Staged excavation build data
  • PLAXIS run on the licensed worker
  • Wall and support design checks
  • Calculation records for the sequence
Engineer boundary

PLAXIS execution cannot run in the browser alone and depends on the licensed worker environment; ground, wall, support, staging, and design decisions remain engineer-reviewed.

Product details

Inputs, steps, and deliverables.

Connect staged excavation inputs, PLAXIS execution, design checks, and calculation records.

Inputs

  • Staged excavation data
  • Wall and support assumptions
  • Design and run configuration
  • PLAXIS stage settings on the licensed worker

Steps

  1. Build staged excavation data and support assumptions
  2. Configure design and PLAXIS run settings
  3. Run the PLAXIS stage on the licensed Windows worker
  4. Review design checks, calculations, and decisions

Outputs

  • PLAXIS run inputs and state
  • Design checks for wall and support stages
  • Calculation records for the delivery sequence
  • Artifacts tied to the staged build

Value and use

Why teams use Excavation & Lateral Support Design.

What this product is for in practice, and the engineering situations teams bring into AEIS first.

Value

  • Keep staged build data with wall and support assumptions
  • Run PLAXIS through a controlled Windows worker stage
  • Attach design checks and calculation records to the same sequence

Use cases

  • Build a multi-stage excavation sequence for analysis
  • Run PLAXIS for a defined support stage
  • Review wall and support checks after the run
  • Retain calculation records for design decisions

FAQ

Before you evaluate this product.

Common questions about Excavation & Lateral Support Design, execution requirements, and engineer responsibility.

Can PLAXIS run in the browser?

No. PLAXIS execution requires the configured licensed desktop environment through the AEIS Windows worker. AEIS coordinates build, design, and evidence around that stage.

What does the engineer still decide?

Ground, wall, support, staging, and design decisions remain engineer-reviewed. AEIS does not replace geotechnical or structural acceptance.

What is the primary outcome?

A staged ELS record that connects build inputs, PLAXIS run state, design checks, and calculation evidence for the delivery sequence.
