Walls for Unley projects
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. Unley's closeness to the city keeps plant movements short.
Water behind the wall
The commonest failure we see in this state 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.
From drawing to wall
We work to engineering documentation: footing sizes, steel schedules and drainage details.
A structure, not a landscape feature
The difference between a landscape wall and a civil wall is what happens when it fails. We treat each wall as an engineered, inspected and documented structure.
