Learn More about Retaining Walls
Retaining walls are used in both residential and commercial settings. Retaining walls are typically of the cantilever type which is freestanding in nature and does not have a support on the top. It is the job of the wall to stand up to the pressure caused by the soil or even water on the one side.
It is important that the wall also contains a drainage system otherwise pressure on the wall will increase over time. This drainage system will reduce hydrostatic pressure and increase stability.
There are several different types of retaining walls. These include:
- Piling Walls
