There are many reasons a retaining wall might be needed.
- Slips
- Unstable ground
- Renovations, basement or under-house excavations
- Driveway support
- Landscaping to create better outdoor spaces
- To create gardens
The Kawau Island Beach House project for instance required clever engineering, complex excavation and structural retaining walls to create a building platform and outdoor spaces for gardens on a seemingly un-buildable clay soil site.
The result is a wonderful 3 bedroom 2 bathroom home, with stunning views across Bon Accord Harbour on Kawau Island in Auckland’s Hauraki Gulf.
This project included months of preparation and features the installation of a jetty and a floating pontoon.
