Retaining Wall

A retaining wall is a structure — commonly reinforced concrete, masonry, or segmental block — built to hold back soil at a change in grade, resisting the lateral earth pressure that would otherwise cause the higher ground to slide or slump.

Cast-in-place concrete retaining walls are poured in stages against formwork and generate washout at each lift, making swap-and-haul scheduling especially useful on multi-day retaining wall jobs.
