The two methods most commonly used to seal with steep hillside and landslide repair are wood and concrete retaining walls.
Wood Retaining Walls
Wood retaining walls are are often used on extreme slopes where a concrete wall is cost prohibitive.
How it’s done
A small diameter caisson is drilled, and then a steel pipe / I Beam is installed and encased in concrete. The pre-drilled caisson gives the wall a much larger bearing footprint.
Concrete Retaining Walls
The design of a concrete retaining wall can vary greatly depending on site conditions and also the engineer designing the wall.
How it’s done
Footing size, block wall or poured in place concrete, the use of caissons are just a few of the decisions that will need to be made during the design process.
Retaining Wall Repair
In some situations your existing wall can be repaired. If your wall can be repaired a significant savings could be expected in most cases.
How it’s done
Proper drainage and water control behind wall is essential to ensure the longevity of your project.
