Reliable Excavation and Site Development
Retaining Walls
Retaining walls are engineered structures that serve multiple functions—they counteract the movement of soil, improve drainage, manage water and prevent pooling, prevent erosion, increase usable yard space, and enhance the overall aesthetic appeal of the property. They’re used by commercial and residential areas alike and can be made from a variety of materials like concrete, stone, brick, or timber. Different retaining walls serve different purposes, but all come with options for residential landscaping, commercial structures, and high-stability areas.
The four main types of retaining walls include:
Four Retaining Wall Types
Gravity Walls
As their name implies, these walls use their own significant weight and a wide base to resist soil pressure.
Reinforced Walls
Strengthened with internal elements like iron or steel rods, these walls can withstand a greater amount of weight and pressure.
Embedded Walls
Often used for deep excavations like basements or metro stations, these walls extend deep into the ground to use the soil’s passive pressure to their advantage.
Cantilever Walls
This strong reinforced wall acts like a cantilever beam and uses a combination of a vertical stem and a reinforced base.
