What kind of retaining wall do you need?
There are four main types of retaining walls and each having different purposes. See the list below:
- Gravity Retaining Walls Often made of stone or concrete, this retaining wall relies solely on its mass in order to withstand the soil pressure behind them. They are usually used for domestic situations where the only material being retained is soil.
- Cantilevered Retaining Walls These are the upside-down T shaped retaining walls that are generally made of concrete or masonry poured and set in place. The footing of this wall is set underground, therefore providing additional support against the soil pressure being retained.
- Sheet Pile or Piling Retaining Walls This type of retaining wall is thinner than the others. Approximately one-third of its long, vertically set beams or wooden planks are buried into the ground.
- Anchored Retaining Walls These walls are anchored in the soil or rocks situated behind it through cables at one or more points.
