Large multi-level timber retaining wall project in Christchurch

Retaining for steep, restricted and demanding sites.

Genuine project photography from our own work.
What the photographs show

The complete job, not just the front face.

Retaining-wall photographs often hide the most important work. Behind each finished face sit foundations or embedded poles, drainage aggregate, geotextile, subsoil drainage and carefully placed backfill.

Our project work combines wall construction with the earthmoving capability needed to open the site, remove spoil, establish foundations and finish the surrounding ground.

Project selection

Different sites. Different retaining demands.

These examples show why access, wall height, surrounding structures, working room and the final use of the property all influence the construction approach.

Project 01

Multi-level retaining on steep ground

A substantial timber system built across a steep residential section where changes in level and limited working room required the construction to be approached in stages.

Project 03

Restricted-access retaining construction

A timber retaining system built through a narrow working corridor. Projects like this require machinery, excavation methods and material handling to be planned around the space available.

Access planning can determine how spoil leaves the site and how construction materials reach the wall.

Larger walls need the construction sequence coordinated with excavation, backfill and work occurring on the upper level.
