Retaining walls

The wall after repair

Too many homeowners do not allow enough money for a well constructed retaining wall and this leads to disasters. Too often soil that needs to be retained is given a quick fix short term solution. Councils require a certain standard to prevent accidents. This one below would never have passed an inspection when it was built.

The wall before repair

A properly built timber upright retaining wall (using timber as in ground supports) is suitable but will rot and weaken in a relatively short time. Using Steel H beams (RSJ) is recommended for a long life span on a retaining wall.
