Retaining Wall Types

Our Structural Engineers select the ideal retaining wall material for projects based on soil conditions and slope steepness. We then perform load calculations to ensure structural safety, and create structural plans and permit sets for Concrete, Reinforced Concrete or CMU retaining walls .

Common types of Retaining Walls:

CMU Retaining Wall
These are retaining walls made from Concrete Masonry Units (CMUs), which are essentially concrete blocks. In a CMU retaining wall, the concrete blocks are stacked and held together with mortar to create a durable and strong structure capable of holding back soil, rock, or other materials.
Cantilever Retaining Wall
Cantilever walls are reinforced concrete walls that have a footing that extends backwards into the soil. They are commonly used for retaining walls with medium heights.
Concrete Retaining Wall
Concrete retaining walls are popular due to their durability and strength. They are often used for larger and taller retaining walls that require significant support.
Gabion Retaining Wall
Gabion walls are wire cages filled with rocks or other materials. They are cost-effective and easy to install, making them a popular choice for smaller retaining walls.
Gravity Retaining Wall
Gravity walls use the weight of the wall to resist the pressure from the soil. They are typically made of concrete or stone and are ideal for smaller retaining walls with low to medium heights.
