Wall Types
Gabion Rock
Gabion retaining walls are created by filling large wire cages with rocks and pebbles. Their design gives them two key advantages: permeability allowing water to drain easily, and their durability meaning they can be used in commercial and residential applications.
Timber Walls
Timber retaining walls are a staple of most residential properties. They strike a great balance between visual appeal, and being cost effective. These walls don't need to be boring, they can be dressed with a variety of materials to make them stand out and even become a statement piece adding street appeal.
Concrete In-situ
In high surcharge or groundwater drawdown situations you may need to form an in-situ concrete wall, Large diameter bored pile walls, secant walls, precast panels, or other methodologies can be used to support large heights and weight while creating a clean and simple modern look.
Keystone Block
Keystone block retaining walls are built with moulded concrete blocks that create a gravity wall which can be designed with extra geogrid stabilization to be a structural wall. You are able to choose the color, size, and even the texture. A great way to create a cost effective wall with an added level of landscaping appeal on a large site.
Concrete Masonry
In areas of Auckland that are typically in rock like Mt Eden, Onehunga, and Epsom we recommend utilizing concrete masonry walls which typically require a shallow footing. This reduces the amount of rock breaking required, saving cost.
