SUBSIDENCE

Our teams of engineers are experienced in building the required installations to create a lasting solution to ongoing issues regarding subsidence and retaining contracts.

 

Reasons Why Retaining Work Is Needed:

• Prevent soil erosion.

• Stabilize slopes or embankments.

• Protect buildings from land movement.

• Support landscaping or infrastructure.

 

Common Types:

• Gravity retaining walls (concrete or stone)

• Reinforced concrete retaining walls

• Gabion walls (wire cages filled with stone)

• Sheet pile walls

• Timber retaining walls

• Sandbag headwalls and bank support

 

Important Design Factors:

• Soil pressure behind the wall.

• Proper drainage to relieve water pressure.

• Strong foundation and footings.

• Adequate reinforcement.

 

We work closely with engineers to identify the cause of the subsidence and formulate the appropriate solution to stabilize the problem and protect from future reoccurrences.
