RMS Structures
Retaining Wall Design Service
At RMS Structures, we are capable of designing and constructing retaining walls with in-depth knowledge of all the considerations that come with creating them.
What Are Retaining Walls
If you need to provide support to terrain, prevent collapse and maintain a material on one side, then retaining walls are what you need. They are vertical or close to vertical structures that are capable of withstanding the pressure of the material they are retaining, which is more often than not, a type of soil.
Types of Retaining Walls
There are many variations of retaining walls which can all be different shapes, sizes and be constructed from different materials. Some of the most common ones include:
Masonry Retaining Walls
By using the mass of the brickwork and gravity, this wall is able to retain the material behind it.
Gabion Basket Retaining Walls
Made from stone filled wire basket with the assistance of gravity, they are able to retain the material once placed.
Inclined Block Retaining Walls
Similar to a Gabion Basket wall but made from concrete blocks, they combine to retain the material.

- Ensure there is no chance of the wall sliding
- Ensure the wall cannot be overturned
- Check the bearing capacity of the soil
- Produce a detailed structural design
- Construct
