Retaining Walls in Clay Soil

Clay soil movement is one of the most common causes of retaining wall movement and cracking across Melbourne’s western suburbs and regional Victoria.

Poor drainage and changing moisture conditions can significantly increase pressure on retaining systems.

Understanding site conditions before construction is critical.

Fence on Top of Retaining Walls

Adding a fence to a retaining wall changes structural loading requirements.

Fence type, wind load, footing depth, surcharge loading and post design all need to be considered to avoid future movement or failure.

Fence on Top of Retaining Wall Guide → /fence-on-top-of-retaining-wall-guide-victoria

When Engineering Is Required

Engineering requirements vary depending on retaining wall height, surcharge loading, nearby structures, vehicle loads, fences and soil conditions.

Engineering is commonly required for taller retaining walls or sites with additional loading considerations.
