Walls that suit Walkerville
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 Walkerville ground at a glance
Walkerville sits on alluvial loam over clay near the Torrens, deepening to reactive clay away from the river. The clay swells against a wall in winter and pulls away in summer, so free-draining backfill and an ag-drain behind every course stop the wall being pushed out of line.
Water behind a Walkerville 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
Walkerville is 4.3 km north-east of the CBD, in the Town of Walkerville. 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.
