Step One – Excavation & Dirt Work
Calgary Retaining Walls starts the retaining wall process by first excavating the existing wall, as well as the surrounding area, to ensure that the base of your business’s retaining wall is straight and level. We then install a 6″ reprocessed concrete base as a foundation, which helps reduce the risk of moisture forming under the wall and creates a base that strengthens over time.
Step Two – Installation of Footings
After the base has been securely installed, our team installs footings to match any grade changes as well as increasing the strength and stability of your company’s retaining wall. Each footing will be installed a minimum of 6” in front of and behind the blocks, anchoring your wall in place.
Step Three – Construction of the Wall
With the groundwork complete, our team turns to constructing your wall. We follow strict requirements to ensure your business’s retaining wall is structurally sound, with seamless slope stabilization and erosion reduction built-in.
Step Four – Installation of the Drainage System
As an added defense against erosion, our skilled team of concrete experts installs a custom drainage system to reduce pressure from your retaining wall. The drainage system also reduces the risk of erosion by controlling the flow of water away from your business’s property, ensuring that you and your neighbor’s properties do not experience water damage.
Step Five – Refill and Site Clean-Up
The final step in Calgary Retaining wall installation is to back fill the soil behind the wall with a geosynthetic-reinforcement material, that helps stabilize the ground behind the wall. The excess space in between the blocks are filled with river rock and drain tile as an added deterrence that helps redirect any water away from the retaining wall. When finished, our team thoroughly cleans the site from top to bottom leaving nothing behind but a professionally installed retaining wall that will exceed your expectations.
