Retaining walls and site walls address grade changes that occur naturally on sites or result from development requirements. Industrial sites often require walls to maximize usable building areas, create proper dock approaches, or manage stormwater features. We construct wall systems designed for the loads and conditions specific to each application.
Wall system selection depends on height, loading conditions, and aesthetic requirements. Cast-in-place concrete walls provide maximum strength for heavy loads and tall applications. Segmental retaining wall systems offer cost advantages for moderate heights and lighter loading. Mechanically stabilized earth systems suit applications where reinforced soil masses can be accommodated.
Drainage behind retaining walls is critical to long-term performance. Hydrostatic pressure from water accumulation causes wall failures in improperly designed systems. We install drainage systems that relieve water pressure while maintaining soil stability behind walls.
Site walls serving aesthetic functions require attention to finishes and appearance. Formed surfaces, applied finishes, and decorative elements all enhance wall appearance while maintaining structural function. We coordinate finish requirements during design to ensure construction meets both structural and aesthetic objectives.
