Retaining Wall Case Study
We specialise in the design and construction of reinforced concrete retaining walls, delivering structurally sound and long-lasting solutions built to engineering specification. Our retaining walls are typically constructed to a structural engineer’s design, incorporating significant mesh reinforcement and precision-tied steelwork, including starter bars, L-bars, and bent bars to form a robust framework.
The process begins with the excavation and pouring of the reinforced concrete footing, which provides a stable base for the wall. Once the foundation is complete, we assemble formwork or shuttering panels to match the required wall dimensions. The cavity is then filled with high-strength concrete, typically placed using a pump to ensure full compaction and a clean finish.
After curing, the formwork is stripped to reveal the completed concrete retaining wall. Depending on the project’s requirements, we can also apply waterproofing or tanking systems to protect against groundwater ingress and install effective drainage behind the wall to manage water pressure. The area is then backfilled and reinstated to achieve a seamless finish.
In addition to reinforced concrete walls, we also construct other retaining systems including MacWall solutions, gabion baskets, and modular interlocking systems such as Lego blocks. Each option is selected and delivered to meet the specific engineering and aesthetic needs of the site.
Our approach ensures that every retaining wall we build combines strength, precision, and durability providing dependable support and lasting performance for a wide range of commercial and industrial environments.
