The site requirement
Retaining works for a two-dwelling site.
The builder required retaining walls as part of preparing the Gisborne block for two dwellings. The package totalled approximately 70m across two wall alignments.
One wall was 1m high. The other varied from 200mm to 1.4m, following the changing retained levels across the site.
The completed wall
Concrete sleepers and galvanised steel posts.
- Wall heights: One wall at 1m; the other from 200mm to 1.4m.
- Sleepers: 80mm-thick concrete sleepers, nominally 1.8m long.
- Posts: 100UC15 galvanised steel.
- Foundations: To 2m depth on this project.
