Our Key Services
Remedial Structure Design
Our remedial solutions address existing structural challenges to restore and enhance site stability:
- Slope Stabilization: Designing measures such as soil nailing, rock anchors, and reinforced slopes to prevent landslides.
- Settlement Correction: Engineering interventions to remediate differential settlement and structural distortions.
- Retrofitting: Upgrading existing retaining walls or remedial structures to improve performance and extend their service life.
Retaining Wall Design
We offer a full spectrum of retaining wall solutions tailored to your project needs:
- Gravity Walls: Utilizing mass and weight to resist lateral earth pressures.
- Cantilever Walls: Engineered to leverage bending forces and provide efficient support.
- Anchored Walls: Incorporating tiebacks or anchors to secure walls in challenging soil conditions.
- Segmental Retaining Walls: Modular, flexible systems that are both aesthetically pleasing and effective for various applications.

FAQs
Have questions? We have answers:
What is a retaining wall and why is it important?
A retaining wall is a structure designed to hold back soil and manage earth pressures, preventing erosion and ensuring site stability. They are essential in areas with steep slopes or unstable soils.
How do remedial structures enhance site stability?
Remedial structures address existing deficiencies such as slope instability or differential settlement. By stabilizing these areas, they help prevent structural failures and extend the life of adjacent infrastructure.
What factors influence the design of a retaining wall?
Key factors include soil type, earth pressure, environmental conditions, load requirements, and the specific challenges of the site. Detailed geotechnical investigations inform our design process.

How do you decide which retaining wall type is best for a site—gravity, cantilever, or anchored?
We assess factors like soil conditions, wall height, load requirements, and environmental considerations to determine the best retaining wall type. For example, gravity walls are suitable for stable soils, while cantilevered and anchored walls are used for higher loads or unstable conditions.
Are your smart material selections based on local climate and environmental impact?
Yes, our smart material selections are always based on the local climate and environmental impact. We carefully consider factors such as weather patterns, temperature fluctuations, humidity, and sustainability to ensure the materials are durable, energy-efficient, and environmentally friendly. This approach helps in reducing the overall carbon footprint and optimizing long-term performance.
What kind of maintenance is required for segmental retaining walls in high-rainfall zones?
In high-rainfall zones, segmental retaining walls require regular maintenance to prevent water-related issues. This includes checking for drainage blockages, ensuring proper functioning of weep holes, and inspecting for erosion or soil slippage behind the wall. Additionally, occasional repairs may be needed to address wear from water flow or shifting soil.
