The maximum wall height depends on several factors, including the design, soil conditions, and whether geogrid reinforcement is required.
Gravity walls can typically be built up to 1m high while geogrid walls can be built to any height and are BBA/HAPAS certified to 9m high.
Consult an engineer or refer to Tobermore’s technical guidance for height recommendations.
