Common retainer wall construction methods:

  • Gravity Walls: Constructed from interlocking concrete blocks or stones, these walls rely on their own weight to resist soil pressure.
  • Cantilever Walls: Reinforced concrete walls that project out from a slope, ideal for limited space.

  • Sheet Pile Walls: Steel walls driven into the ground, often used for temporary support or in wet soil conditions.

  • Soldier Pile Walls: Similar to sheet piles, but utilise precast concrete panels and tie rods for added strength.

  • Mechanically Stabilised Earth (MSE) Walls: Walls reinforced with geogrids or geotextiles to create a composite structure with the surrounding soil.
