Maintaining the Integrity your Property

Wellington’s topography means you are never too far away from a retaining wall. They play a crucial role, in Wellington in particular, to provide homeowners and citizens spaces to enjoy and protect their property.

Having retaining in place you can trust contributes massively to peace of mind. That is what we can provide to our clients for whatever reason they need retaining work done.

Erosion Control

Retaining walls help prevent soil erosion, protecting your property from the damaging effects of water runoff and weathering.

Optimised Space

By creating level areas on sloped terrain, retaining walls maximise usable space for landscaping, gardening, or outdoor living.

Structural Stability

Retaining walls provide essential support and stability, preventing soil movement and erosion that could compromise the integrity of your property.

Types of Retaining Walls

Retaining walls come in various types to address different structural and environmental needs. The diversity arises because each type is designed to handle specific factors such as soil conditions, load requirements, site constraints, and aesthetic preferences.

Each design ensures the wall performs effectively in its unique context, providing safety and functionality.

Type One

Cantilevered Walls

Typically made from timber or steel, these walls have a thinner stem and use a lever arm and footing to convert horizontal pressure from the soil into vertical pressure on the ground. They are efficient for taller walls and provide strong support in various materials depending on the requirements.

Type Two

Gravity Walls

These rely on their own weight to resist the pressure from the soil behind them. Typically constructed from heavy materials like stone, concrete, or brick, they are best suited for low to moderate height applications.

Type Three

Anchored Walls

Reinforced by cables or other stays anchored in the rock or soil behind the wall. These are useful for high-load applications and when dealing with loose or heavy soil conditions.

Type Four

Gabion Walls

Constructed by stacking wire mesh boxes filled with rocks or other materials. These flexible structures are ideal for areas with erosion issues and where drainage is a concern.
