Create more usable space with retaining walls
Retaining walls are an excellent option for creating extra useable space around the exterior of your property. Usually this is dead space when there is sloping ground and water run-off. By adding a retaining wall, you can transform a redundant garden or grounds into a landscaped area to provide extra outdoor space. It is imperative to hire a structural engineer when seeking to use a retaining wall. A poorly designed wall could temporarily look suitable but could be disastrous if it collapsed in the future. By appointing Neasden Structural Engineers before you start any work, we can design a solution that will be sturdy for many years to come.
Considerations for structural engineers
when building a retaining wall
There are seven factors to consider when building a retaining wall:
- type of wall
- materials
- design or on-site placement
- drainage
- foundations
- cant or batter
- anchors or ‘deadmen’
When building a retaining wall, our structural engineers will consider the force from the weight of the earth and/or water behind it, which usually changes with weather conditions. Proper drainage must be factored in to relieve the pressure of wet earth, and the construction must be fit for its size and function.
