Retaining Wall Design
Retaining walls play a crucial role in managing soil stability, preventing erosion, and maximizing usable space on challenging terrain. At Helix Geotechnical, we provide comprehensive retaining wall design services tailored to meet the unique demands of each project, ensuring long-term stability, durability, and aesthetic integration with the surrounding environment.
​
Our design process begins with a detailed geotechnical investigation to assess soil properties, groundwater conditions, and site-specific challenges. Using this data, we design retaining walls that effectively manage lateral earth pressures, account for drainage requirements, and withstand environmental loads.
​
We specialize in various retaining wall systems, including gravity walls, mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) walls and segmental retaining walls (SRWs), offering solutions suited for residential, commercial, and industrial applications.
​
Whether supporting a hillside, creating level building platforms, or stabilizing infrastructure near slopes, our retaining wall designs prioritize structural integrity, cost-efficiency, and long-term performance. At Helix Geotechnical, we combine engineering expertise with innovative solutions to deliver retaining walls that stand the test of time.
​
From small residential landscaping walls to large-scale highway bridge supports, we have the expertise to handle projects of any scale with precision and confidence. Our team has extensive experience working with various retaining wall blocks and facing types, such as:
