Retaining Walls

Can your property benefit from a retaining wall? Retaining walls are required at elevation changes to prevent soil erosion, provide flood control, and to support lateral loads and surcharges from the high side of the wall. They can also be visually appealing, enhance landscape designs, and simplify maintenance. However, environmental conditions, inadequate construction, and use of materials with limited useful lifespans can result in deterioration that could ultimately lead to catastrophic failure. Our professionals at Becht Engineering BT, Inc. have extensive experience with retaining wall investigations, as well as the design and construction inspections of new retaining walls.
