Retaining Walls

Protective retaining walls are structures designed to prevent soil erosion and landslides, and to protect buildings, roads, and other infrastructure from the impact of natural elements, such as water and wind. Retaining walls are typically made of concrete, masonry, or natural stone, and they can be designed to blend with the surrounding landscape or to provide an aesthetically pleasing feature.

There are several types of retaining walls that can provide protection, such as:

Gravity retaining walls: These walls rely on their weight and the force of gravity to hold back the soil. They are typically made of concrete or masonry blocks and are suitable for small to medium height applications.

Cantilever retaining walls: These walls are reinforced with steel or concrete and are designed to support heavier loads. They are suitable for medium to high height applications and require less materials than gravity walls.

Anchored retaining walls: These walls are reinforced with cables or rods that are anchored to the soil or bedrock behind the wall. They are suitable for high height applications and can provide greater stability and resistance to external forces.

Protective retaining walls can be used in various settings, such as:

Residential properties: Retaining walls can be used to create terraced landscapes, prevent soil erosion, and protect homes from the impact of natural elements.

Commercial properties: Retaining walls can be used to protect buildings, roads, and other infrastructure from landslides and soil erosion.

Natural landscapes: Retaining walls can be used to protect natural landscapes from the impact of human activities, such as construction and mining.

Retaining walls are an important feature in many settings, as they provide a durable and effective solution to prevent soil erosion and landslides, and to protect infrastructure from the impact of natural elements.
