Empire Retaining Walls recently built a retaining wall at a property in Mt Eliza.
Why was a retaining wall needed?
A block of land in Mt Eliza was being subdivided to accommodate the development of a new residential property.
One of the key features of the new property was a sunken ground level floor.
Upon the surveyor confirming the height of the finished house’s ground level, it was identified that the earth needed to be cut into to accommodate the sunken ground level floor.
Given these excavation works and the contour of the land, a retaining wall needed to be installed around the fence line to secure the soil behind it and prevent erosion / land slip of the neighbouring property.
We worked to specification
The engineer communicated the following requirements:
- maximum 1800mm centres for the steel
- pier depths to be 1500mm deep and 450mm in diameter, using 25mpa strength concrete.
- 75mm treated pine sleepers between the steel uprights
- drainage behind the wall
And voilà!
