Hello neighbours, im reaching out in the hopes someone much more knowledgeable can point me in the right direction!

I'd like to turn my basement into some sort of a hobby room/workshop area. Rather annoyingly though there is what i can only guess is some sort of reinforcing in the form of soil.

First of all i would like to know if it's possible to remove the soil and in it's place replace it with some sort of concrete reinforcing.
Secondly, if that is even possible what sort of work would be required? Is it a matter of concrete reinforcing in the form of spray-on concrete or would it be steel rods with concrete etc.

Thank you :)

Thunderstorms are expected Tuesday afternoon and evening (9 May) due to an active front. Some of these thunderstorms may become severe, producing localised torrential rain in excess of 40 mm/h and a slight chance of a damaging tornado.

Here's what you need to know:
- Surface and/or flash flooding is possible, especially about streams, rivers or narrow valleys - this may also lead to slips.
- Driving conditions will be hazardous with surface flooding and poor visibility in heavy rain. If any tornadoes occur, they will only affect very localised areas.
- Thunderstorm activity is expected to ease in Auckland in the early evening of Tuesday.

For information on preparing for and keeping safe during a storm, see the Civil Defence Get Ready website.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
11:20am Update: There is flooding on West Coast beaches, and schools have been evacuated due to flooding.
12pm Update: Auckland Mayor declares State of Emergency. “I am urging Aucklanders to remain calm but be vigilant. Please stay away from floodwaters and open drains. It is important that you follow the official advice of Auckland Emergency Management and Auckland Transport.”

Keep up with live updates on the Stuff website.
