Contract: Mont Cambrai Retaining Wall

Client: Beaumont Structural Consultants

Value: £38k

Duration: 7 Weeks

This project involved the sectional clearance and rebuilding of a 3 metre high granite retaining wall after it had failed. 

To enable the works to be carried out, the removal of approximately 300 tonnes of soil was required to create a safe working area in a sloping cotils, followed by the construction of a reinforced concrete wall. 

New granite face work was then constructed utilising recycled material from the original wall to maintain a consistent finish with the existing. Additional drainage was installed behind the new wall to minimise the risk of the wall failing in the future.
