On clay and gravelly creek outwash switching within a single block, with blocks that are gently rising ground toward the foothills, with gully lines cutting through, walls here carry genuine loads and are built and drained to engineering documentation.
Why Civil retaining here
Magill is 7.1 km east of the Adelaide CBD, in the City of Campbelltown.

Pricing civil work in Magill

The ground under Magill
Ground first: Magill sits on clay and gravelly creek outwash switching within a single block, and its blocks are gently rising ground toward the foothills, with gully lines cutting through. That combination sets the machine, the working method and the price, so we read the ground before we price the job.
Walls that stay standing in Magill
The difference between a landscape wall and a civil wall is what happens when it fails. Walls for Magill are built from the footing up as structures: engineered, inspected, documented. Every wall follows engineering documentation for footing sizes, steel schedules and drainage details.
How a Magill retaining wall is built
Built from the drawing, drained from day one, in a fixed order.
Why Magill walls fail
A leaning wall at Magill usually has a drainage or footing problem that a patch will not fix. Where a new dwelling, pool or driveway adds load to an existing wall, an engineer's assessment comes first, and any new or replacement wall is built to that documentation. Walls over about a metre of retained height, or supporting a structure or driveway, generally need engineering.
Built from the drawing, inspected
We build to approved documentation and coordinate the inspections, supplying everything the certifier needs from the construction side. The commonest failure in South Australia is not structure, it is water trapped behind a wall that was never drained, and we do not leave that behind.
