Civil work in Southwark

Southwark (5031) sits 2.86 km from the Adelaide CBD. This page covers civil retaining there: what the engineering documentation calls for, how the wall is built and drained, and how the work is priced from the drawings rather than from a rate.

Retaining at Southwark

The difference between a landscape wall and a civil wall is what happens when it fails. Walls for Southwark are built from the footing up as structures, in concrete sleeper, masonry block or rock to the design, and documented as they go.

One contractor at the wall interface

Footing, steel, drainage and the wall itself come from one contractor, so the hold points are met in order and nothing is left for another trade to argue about. On a Southwark boundary that matters: the wall and anything built on top of it are designed as one assembly.

Footings and drainage at Southwark

Footing depth and width come from the documentation, and the excavation is cut to that detail at Southwark before steel or concrete arrives. Ag-pipe and free-draining backfill go in behind every course, with a path designed for water to leave the wall.

Pricing civil work in Southwark

Jobs are priced from the documents and the site, not from a rate per square metre. Where loads, access and the cut-and-fill balance decide the cost, they are set out in the quote so the Southwark bill is a plan rather than a surprise.
