Walls that suit Mitcham
Our retaining work is aimed at residential-development and commercial scale: concrete sleeper, masonry and rock walls that carry driveways, car parks, boundaries and structures. Load, height, access and budget decide the system, and the pricing response sets the options out against your drawings.
The Mitcham ground at a glance
Mitcham carries the first lift of the foothills — village-flat near the shops, genuinely sloped behind. Retaining there is what turns a fall into usable yard: walls are designed from the levels and the engineer's detail, with cut-and-fill balanced so you are not paying to cart soil away and buy it back.
Water behind a Mitcham wall
The commonest failure in this state is not structure, it is water trapped behind a wall that was never drained. Ag-pipe, free-draining backfill and a path for water to leave go into our walls whatever the material, because a wall that holds water will not hold for long.
From drawing to standing wall
We work to engineering documentation: footing sizes, steel schedules and drainage details.
A structure, not a landscape feature
Mitcham is 5.8 km south-east of the CBD, in the City of Mitcham. The difference between a landscape wall and a civil wall is what happens when it fails, so each wall is treated as an engineered, inspected and documented structure from the footing up.
