Atlanta’s extreme topography requires retaining walls to provide crucial support for uneven ground upon which commercial and residential foundational structures are built. From large shopping centers to small functional areas like driveways, patios or swimming pools, retaining walls anchor the earth to maintain stability and prevent settlement.
Retaining wall replacement is necessary when retaining walls reach the end of the lifespan. Critical support crosstie retaining walls last twenty to thirty years and should be replaced with a poured concrete retaining wall.
Collapsed retaining walls require immediate replacement by an Atlanta retaining wall contractor with a City of Atlanta regulation compliance team and a city approved structural engineer on staff. Failure to replace a leaning or dilapidated retaining wall inevitably results in expensive damage to the foundation of the structures located on or near the ground the retaining wall supports.
Retaining walls fail due to improper planning and building procedures. An engineering and site plan are mandatory by most City of Atlanta and DeKalb or Fulton County building departments. Site plans are designed upon up-to-date topographical surveys. Our regulation compliance office completes all the engineering, survey and site plan paperwork necessary for approval in every Georgia city and county.
