This Revit family provides a steel H-beam soldier pile centered within a cylindrical concrete pier for shoring and retaining wall design. The assembly comprises a standard structural steel H-beam profile integrated axially into a circular concrete pier foundation. The steel section is clearly defined with its characteristic parallel flanges and central web, providing the necessary stiffness for deep excavation support. The concrete base represents the cast-in-place portion of the pile, typically drilled into the substrate. The geometry is clean and functional, designed for accurate representation in structural models and excavation plans. Proportions are consistent with typical civil engineering specifications for temporary or permanent earth retention systems, ensuring clear visual communication of the structural assembly.
The download is a 358 KB file containing a Revit family (.rfa). Load it into a project from the Insert tab with Load Family, then place it like any other component of its category; it schedules and tags with the rest of your model.
Users can load this family into a structural project to model soldier pile walls or shoring systems. The element functions as a standard structural column, allowing for vertical placement along a grid or custom path. Because the steel and concrete components are unified, users can easily schedule the total count of piles within the project browser. Adjustments to length can be made via instance parameters to match the depth of the excavation or the required embedment depth into the soil strata.
Soldier Pile Steel H-Beam with Concrete Pier

This asset is essential for civil and structural engineers working on excavation shoring, basement construction, or deep foundation projects. It is ideal for site planning, temporary works design, and coordination with sub-surface site conditions. Professionals searching for shoring components, earth retention solutions, or foundation detailing will find this family useful for creating accurate construction documentation. It pairs well with generic wall systems representing lagging or shotcrete panels, and is commonly used during the early stages of site preparation and civil infrastructure development.
