A retaining wall<\/a> supports soil so that it can occupy two different levels <\/span>on<\/span> either side of the wall. It holds back, or retains, the earth on one side at an angle that would otherwise be <\/span>impossible<\/span> without collapsing. <\/span>A retaining wall facilitates <\/span>construction on sloped areas of ground. Retaining walls are therefore needed to help maximise the full development capacity of a site.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Retaining walls are positioned in specific areas to help reinforce the soil and increase its load bearing capacity. This will then allow the retained soil to take loads imposed by buildings or traffic that would not have been possible without the construction of the retaining walls.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The load that a retaining wall needs to withstand, and support, <\/span>must<\/span> be determined by a structural engineer. The final retaining wall structural specification will depend on many factors. These include<\/span> the ground bearing capacity, type of retained material, height of the water table and any loadings that <\/span>may <\/span>be applied to the soil once it is retained.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Once the structural requirements for a retaining wall have been determined by the structural engineer, the specifier<\/a> or <\/span>groundworker<\/span><\/a> then <\/span>has<\/span> a choice of the type of retaining wall solution<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A typical housing development<\/a> site <\/span>will <\/span>require several retaining walls. <\/span>T<\/span>heir appearance, as with any other hard landscaping<\/a>, will have a<\/span> visual<\/span> impact on the overall development. For this reason, retaining walls that us<\/span>e<\/span> materials that can complement the project site aesthetics or the <\/span>surroundings<\/span>, as well as meet the structural requirements, are the most popular choices.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What types of retaining walls are typically used on housing development sites?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

The two common types of retaining walls<\/a> on housing development sites are gravity retaining walls and reinforced retaining walls. They can both be constructed of materials that will retain the soil to the necessary standard and can complement the <\/span>facing bricks<\/span><\/a> of homes<\/span> and <\/span>hard landscaping<\/span> of the site.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Gravity retaining walls<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Gravity walls rely on the weight of the materials such as brick or concrete blocks to hold back the soil and therefore are limited in the height they can reach. Depending on the base width, as well as<\/span> the angle of the sloped face of the wall, they can be built up to <\/span>approximately<\/span> 3m in height.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Among the <\/span>benefits of gravity retaining walls are the ease at which they can be installed and the wide choice of colours, textures and finishes that are available to fit in with the particular visual requirements of the project.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Reinforced retaining walls<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Reinforced retaining walls use methods such as layers of geogrid or masonry reinforcement to increase their ability to withstand higher loads from the earth they retain.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

They can be built to much greater heights than gravity retaining walls. A <\/span>particular<\/span> type of reinforced retaining <\/span>wall<\/span> is a <\/span>modular retaining <\/span>wall<\/span>. <\/span>When<\/span> specified along with geogrid layers to reinforce the soil, the height that can be achieved by <\/span>modular<\/span> retaining <\/span>walls<\/span> is, in fact, <\/span>not <\/span>limited.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Modular retaining walls using interlocking concrete blocks<\/a> can meet both the strength and aesthetic requirements for housing development projects and bring with them a host of other advantages.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What are the benefits of specifying modular retaining walls over brick built retaining walls for housing developments?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Once a retaining wall that meets the structural requirements has been selected, the next key parameter for housing developments<\/a> is its visual appearance. For this reason, the use of either bricks or concrete blocks in the retaining wall are two options commonly considered. However, concrete blocks that form modular retaining walls<\/a> bring several other benefits when compared to bricks:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

No mortar required<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

The design of concrete retaining wall blocks<\/a> means that they do not require the use of mortar for installation. The ribbed texture of the geogrid grips the coarse surface of each block creating friction and each block has a retaining nib to resist forward movement. Granular aggregate fills in the hollow cores of the blocks to produce an interlocking retaining wall that, unlike a brick construction, does not need mortar to increase its strength. This reduces material costs and means that specialist bricklayers are not needed when installing retaining walls.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Quicker installation<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

The simple design and installation of interlocking retaining walls<\/a> increase build speed when compared to those using bricks and mortar. As the installation of interlocking retaining walls does not require mortar, it is also not weather-dependent, helping to expedite build project delivery.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Unlimited height<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Whilst brick retaining walls can be built to substantial heights, to do so requires the base of the wall to be widened and this adds both labour and material costs to a project. By contrast, unlimited heights can be achieved when using modular retaining walls with geogrid layers, making this a flexible and consistent option for all retaining walls across a site regardless of individual height requirements.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Wide visual appearance to match project aesthetics<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Modular retaining walls are available in a wide choice of styles, colours and finishes that provides specifiers with retaining wall design flexibility<\/a> to match and complement all areas of brick wall<\/a> and hard landscaping on-site and helps create the desired aesthetic appeal of the housing development project.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
