Design Faster, Smarter, and with Full Eurocode Compliance with DeepEX
If you’re an engineer working on deep excavation and foundation design in Europe, you know that compliance with Eurocodes is non-negotiable. From Eurocode 7 load combinations to Eurocode 2, 3, and 8 structural checks, meeting the strict requirements of these standards can be time-consuming and complex. But what if there was a software that could handle all of it—automatically and efficiently?
That’s where DeepEX comes in. Designed to streamline the design and analysis of deep excavations, DeepEX helps you generate models, perform geotechnical and structural checks, and apply Eurocode provisions—all within a single, user-friendly platform. Whether you’re designing diaphragm walls, sheet piles, or anchored excavations, DeepEX gives you the tools to work faster, more accurately, and with full Eurocode compliance.

Built for European Engineers: Eurocode Provisions at Your Fingertips
One of the biggest challenges in deep excavation design is ensuring your calculations align with the correct structural and geotechnical codes. DeepEX is fully equipped with Eurocode provisions, eliminating the need for manual adjustments or external verifications.
You can apply Eurocode 7 load combinations automatically, ensuring that your geotechnical designs follow the correct Ultimate Limit State (ULS) and Serviceability Limit State (SLS) checks. National Annexes for different European countries are also included, so you can confidently design projects according to local regulations.
On the structural side, DeepEX incorporates Eurocodes 2, 3, and 8, allowing you to design concrete, steel, and seismic-resistant excavation systems with full compliance. Whether you are working with reinforced concrete walls, steel soldier piles, walers, or seismic-resistant structures, the software ensures your designs meet the necessary structural criteria.

How DeepEX Can Improve Your Workflow
Save Time with Intuitive Deep Excavation Modeling
Instead of spending hours setting up models manually, DeepEX allows you to create detailed excavation models in minutes. You can easily modify wall geometry, add supports, adjust soil properties, and apply different excavation sequences, all with an interactive interface that updates results in real-time.
With automatic construction staging, you don’t have to worry about recalculating structural responses for each step—DeepEX does it for you. You can test different scenarios quickly, optimize your design, and make informed decisions without wasting time on repetitive tasks.
Perform Advanced Geotechnical and Structural Analyses—All in One Software
DeepEX combines geotechnical and structural design in a single platform, so you don’t have to switch between multiple software packages. You can run advanced geotechnical analyses using Limit Equilibrium Methods (LEM), Non-Linear Soil-Structure Interaction (NLA), and Finite Element Analysis (FEM, both 2D and 3D).
At the same time, the software automatically performs structural checks on walls, supports, and walers according to Eurocode standards. This integration allows you to design projects with confidence, knowing that both the geotechnical and structural aspects of your excavation are being handled in a Eurocode-compliant manner.

Optimize Material Usage and Reduce Costs
Overdesigning a project can lead to unnecessary material costs, while underdesigning can result in safety issues and compliance failures. DeepEX helps you find the perfect balance by allowing you to test different wall thicknesses, support configurations, and reinforcement layouts.
With automated structural and geotechnical evaluations, you can be sure that your design is both cost-effective and safe, helping you save time and resources while maintaining full compliance with Eurocodes.
Improve Safety and Risk Management
DeepEX helps you minimize uncertainties in deep excavation design by incorporating advanced stability checks, seismic analysis, and automated risk-based evaluations. The software applies the correct Eurocode 7 load combinations, so you don’t have to manually check if your design meets the necessary safety factors and performance requirements.
In high-seismic regions, you can use Eurocode 8 provisions to ensure that your excavation structures are designed to withstand earthquakes. Whether you’re designing a deep basement in a city center, a large-scale infrastructure project, or a complex deep foundation system, DeepEX provides the insights needed to ensure your project is stable and compliant.
