Commercial retaining wall construction provides structural earth retention for sites with grade changes, parking areas on slopes, and developments requiring terraced layouts. Wall systems range from small landscape walls to major structural installations supporting building foundations and heavy surcharge loads. Proper design and construction ensures long-term stability under the soil and water pressures that act on earth retention structures.
Wall system selection depends on wall height, soil conditions, surcharge loads, and aesthetic requirements. Segmental retaining wall (SRW) systems work well for moderate heights with visible faces. Mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) walls efficiently retain significant heights for highway and heavy commercial applications. Cast-in-place concrete walls provide maximum design flexibility for complex conditions. We work with structural engineers to select and construct appropriate wall systems for each application.
Drainage behind retaining walls is essential for long-term performance. Water pressure against wall backs is a primary failure mechanism for poorly constructed walls. Proper drainage aggregate, filter fabric, and outlet provisions prevent water accumulation and the resulting pressure buildup. We install complete drainage systems as integral components of wall construction.
Commercial sites often require retaining walls integrated with other site elements including parking lots, building foundations, and utility corridors. Wall construction must be sequenced appropriately with adjacent work. Embedment requirements and connection details must be coordinated with related structures. We manage these coordination requirements as part of our general contractor role.
As developments push into more challenging terrain, retaining wall construction becomes increasingly common in the DFW market. We help developers and property owners understand wall requirements early in site planning and provide realistic cost projections for budgeting purposes.
