Retaining Walls
Holding ground in place.
Retaining structures designed for earth and water pressures, from gravity walls to reinforced and contiguous solutions.
Overview
What We
Deliver
Retaining Walls determines whether everything above it succeeds. Ground conditions in the UK vary enormously, so retaining walls must be founded on proper investigation and designed to Eurocode 7 (BS EN 1997) with the right factors of safety. We combine geotechnical understanding with plant and method to deliver retaining walls engineered to carry the loads above it reliably.
Our teams work under CDM 2015 with careful attention to excavation safety, temporary works, and buried services. From dig to backfill, we deliver retaining walls — set out accurately, constructed correctly, and ready for the structure to follow.
Capabilities
What We Deliver
Ground Investigation
Site and ground investigation informing the retaining walls design with real data on soils, water, and bearing capacity.
Design to Eurocode 7
Retaining Walls designed to BS EN 1997 with appropriate ground models, safety factors, and temporary works.
Safe Construction
Retaining Walls constructed under CDM 2015 with excavation support, services avoidance, and accurate setting out.
Verification & Backfill
Inspection, testing, and controlled backfill verifying retaining walls against the design before the structure follows.
