Performing a comprehensive retaining wall assessment can support you through the design process for your building by helping you to select the best retaining wall type for your building and budget.

In cases where retaining walls have failed, we often find they have not been designed by structural engineers and, either over the short or long-term, this results in the collapse of the retaining wall and inherent danger to the future of the building.

Retaining walls can take various forms, from reinforced blockwork to mass blockwork structures, reinforced concrete solutions and the inclusion of Gabion baskets to name just a few. With this many options available to a home or business owner, it’s important therefore that your structural engineer understands the best method available to support your domestic or commercial project.

Regardless of the solution we adopt to develop your new retaining wall, the biggest consideration we take for your project is the safety and longevity of any service proposed.

Our wall stability inspections are thorough, addressing every aspect to achieve optimal stability and exceed safety standards so that you can pass building regulation requirements with ease. Each evaluation focuses on meeting not only current standards but anticipating future challenges.

"Structural engineers play a crucial role in retaining wall assessments. Through meticulous evaluations, we can ensure the stability of your building today and foresee potential challenges for the future. It's a practical partnership aimed at creating enduring retaining walls that provide long-term security for your premises."
