The durability of our walls ranges from 50 to 100 years, influenced by site-specific factors like soil and groundwater conditions, as well as the construction methods employed. Our role as design-build retaining wall contractors enables us to offer various permanent solutions, adeptly addressing unique project demands and environmental challenges.
Schnabel’s proficiency spans across different environments and operational complexities, ensuring clients receive the most effective retaining wall solution.
PERMANENT RETAINING WALL SOLUTIONS
In scenarios where a permanent retaining wall is needed, particularly in cut or partial cut-and-fill situations, Schnabel’s expertise in permanent tieback, soil nails, and cantilevered pile walls comes to the forefront.
These methods are both practical and cost-effective, especially when preserving the integrity of nearby roads, structures, slopes, or features is crucial. Given the typical lifespan of these walls (50 to 100 years), thorough assessments of soil and groundwater for corrosion potential are conducted.
Our specialists meticulously design every component, including tiebacks, soil nails, and facing connections, to ensure the wall’s longevity. The wall’s facing, often made of reinforced concrete or shotcrete, is tailored not only for durability but also for aesthetic appeal, harmonizing with the surrounding landscape.
With over fifty years of experience, Schnabel stands as one of America’s foremost retaining wall contractors. We pride ourselves on customizing our retaining wall constructions to meet the unique demands of each project and environmental condition. Our team is ready to assist in selecting the most suitable retaining wall solution for your project. Contact us to benefit from our extensive expertise in this specialized field.
