Segmental block with geogrid
Block walls with geogrid reinforcement, with the grid length and layers scheduled for each wall height and backslope.
Retaining walls
Retaining walls designed to be built.
Wall sections, schedules, stamped calculations and a construction sequence the contractor can follow, for new walls and for repairs of walls that have moved or failed.
Wall types
The right wall for the site.
Soldier pile walls
Steel posts in drilled piers with lagging, for tight sites and where digging back the hill is not an option.
Tie-back walls
Walls held back with tie-back anchors where the height or the load calls for more than a cantilever.
Fabric walls
Geotextile wrapped walls for slopes and embankments.
Concrete and masonry walls
Cantilevered reinforced concrete and CMU walls, used as site walls or as foundations for buildings.
Repairs
Walls that have leaned, cracked or failed, with a replacement design and the steps to rebuild safely.
What you get
Sections, schedules and steps.
- Wall section and a schedule of heights, embedment and reinforcement
- Stamped calculations: sliding, overturning, bearing and global checks for each height
- Surcharge from roads, driveways, fire apparatus and buildings above the wall
- Drainage, backfill and compaction requirements
- A suggested construction sequence and back cut guidance for the contractor
- A soils report governs where there is one; we recommend a geotechnical engineer when the site calls for it
Examples
Two walls on one hillside.
