Retaining Walls
A
retaining wall is a solid, man made structure, built for the purpose
of retaining an earthen embankment. The retaining wall is a
versatile structure, at Concrete Contractors we build to suit the
customers needs. Every wall is engineered to stand the test of
time.
A landscape staple, retaining walls are utilitarian by design and one of
the more useful of the hardscape structures.. We offer a wide
variety of retaining wall solutions.
Retaining Walls are ideal for preventing downslope movement, also refered to as erosion. When designing a retaining wall it is most important to carefully consider that the retained material is attempting to move forward and downslope. The taller the wall is the greater the pressure will be. This lateral earth pressure increases proportionately from top to bottom.
Retaining Wall Installation
The most important aspect of the process
is a proper installation. Great care must be taken to ensure a
proper grade and proper substrate compaction. Most retaining
walls, being gravity structures, rely on their own weight for support.
If these structures are not properly tied back into the earth, they will
not resist opposing loads which could result in disaster.
Our installers are licensed proffesionals, well trained and experienced
in the installation of various retaining wall applications.
