Why are commercial retaining walls important?

Retaining walls are special types of wall structures generally constructed for holding materials such as soil on the top sloping side. They are meant for support mainly, but they also prevent soil erosion. These are commonly used on Atlanta road construction projects, but also have many uses around Cumming and Suwanee Ga because of how hilly the terrain is. Land isn’t always flat when we’re building commercial buildings. Instead of just leveling everything up to allow for construction, retaining walls are considered a better option to use. They are constructed on the sloping areas so as to prevent the soil from collapsing. A flat land or a terrace is creat

ed which can be used for planting small plants and flowers, hence adding the aesthetic value of our commercial buildings. The retaining walls are better because they also get rid of the monotonous flat land and commercial environment. A better, nicer looking view is created like the Cumming GA block retaining wall in this picture.

Installation of commercial retaining walls

The installation and design of retaining walls to install in your commercial environment vary with a lot of factors. No job site is the same as the other. All the variables have to be considered before installing. These may include storm water management, vehicle loading, soil type and local code requirements. These structures are required to be as strong as possible especially for the large ones holding a lot of loads. Experts have to be involved in the construction as a result. There are retaining wall companies out there that specialize in this field and perhaps they can help you install them appropriately. They are required to have proper base, shape, paver size, texture and also the laying pattern should be desirable.

Public safety and ensuring compliance

Commercial retaining walls are supposed to meet the set standards set by the regulatory bodies. This is mainly to ensure the safety of all the people accessing your commercial workplaces. The standards to be met include the ground and floor surfaces. The expert companies can then recommend the right products to use so as to ensure that the design desired meets the needs such as slip resistance as well as detectable surface warnings.

Slope stabilization and soil erosion

Retaining wall are appropriate structures to use in order to prevent the damages caused by the above factors. The retaining walls need to be constructed perfectly by an expert in order for it to serve purposes such as improving aesthetics, making safe the commercial property will increase the usable land and also prevent runoff and erosion. The runoff and soil erosion factors have to be considered during the construction as well as afterwards.

Building Retaining Walls That Last a Lifetime

Yashiv Construction dba McCullough landscaping is designing and building some of the finest  retaining walls in Atlanta and N. Georgia.

We recently used commercial Redi-Rock blocks to build a residential wall project in Atlanta.

Gravity Walls Save Valuable Space For Your Backyard Makeover

Because the incredible weight of these Redi-Rock commercial blocks, we conserved valuable sq. footage in this backyard for our customer by not having to use any geo-grid anchor system. Because this retaining wall was over 25 feet tall, we would have been required to remove dirt ½ the distance behind the wall as the height of wall. That would have required us to install geo-grid behind the wall about 15 feet. This would’ve been a non-starter on this project because this residential retention wall is right on the property line. Which left us very few options.

Well, because code allowed us to build 13 courses high with the Redi-Rock blocks… we were able to provide this homeowner with a creative solution, which also became the focal point of their backyard renovation.

As shown in the video below, these blocks are really heavy, requiring the use of big machines. This loader was setting blocks that weighed 3290 lbs. and 2439 lbs.

Our highly trained crews have done several major roadside construction projects for the Georgia Dept. of Transportation. So we are well trained to take on such a task. But we also do many smaller residential walls designed and constructed with concrete modular retaining wall blocks.

Time For New Concrete Modular Block Retaining Wall?

If you have an old, rotted railroad tie wall that’s falling down from age and wood deterioration, then it’s time for a new modular block landscape wall, or even a Redi-Rock wall like the one in the video.

So, go ahead and call today to schedule your free initial consultation. We look forward to hearing from you. Call today at: 678-210-1020
