Retaining Wall Design

Expert Solutions for Stability and Safety

KGA provides specialised retaining wall design services to meet the needs of your projects. Our team ensures that designs account for ground conditions, long-term stability, and the effects on neighbouring land while also considering site constraints and constructability challenges to achieve an effective and efficient design solution. ​

We also undertake ground inspections during construction, offering ongoing guidance to maintain quality and safety standards.​

Whether you are stabilising a slope or constructing near property boundaries, KGA delivers reliable and effective solutions tailored to your site.​

Ensuring Successful outcomes for near Boundary Works​

Ensuring near boundary excavations do not adversely affect neighbouring property and infrastructure are critical for the success of a project. KGA’s Team excels at undertaking advanced retaining wall analysis and assessment of affects associated with boundary wall performance and potential groundwater drawdown to ensure impacts from the works are minimised. ​

Our support for near boundary works extends through to the construction phase where we provide monitoring support and review to ensure actual performance and affects from the works replicates the expected design behaviour.

Tailored Designs for Every Terrain​

Timber Pole Walls

Cost-effective and versatile, ideal for light retaining needs and shallow slopes and low to moderate retained heights.​

Reinforced Concrete and Steel walls

Suitable for large retained heights, deeper embedment requirements or where access is challenging ​

Mechanical Stabilised Earth (MSE) Walls

Durable and flexible walls, excellent for large scale earthworks projects, high loads and steep slopes.

In-ground Palisade Walls

Deep in ground pile walls ideal for stabilising steep slopes and unstable ground​

Tie-back Walls

Retailing wall supplemented with tie back anchors to provide additional stability and reduce embedment lengths.​

Gravity Walls

Simple yet robust, utilising their weight to resist lateral earth pressures, suitable for limited spaces.​

Basements​

Soldier pile or secant wall arrangements with or without temporary and/or permanent propping KGA’s team can develop a solution to meet your projects needs. ​

Temporary walls

Sheet pile walls, cofferdams and steel king post walls ideal for supporting temporary excavations associated with service trenches and chambers​

KGA offers a variety of retaining wall design solutions, each suited to specific soil types, geotechnical and structural requirements as well as site constraints. Each KGA design is detailed to ensure durability and optimal performance.​
