Commercial retaining walls provide grade transitions, soil retention, and structural support for commercial sites, industrial developments, and infrastructure projects throughout Greenville, TX. As a general contractor, we design-build retaining wall systems for property developers, business owners, and municipalities needing engineered solutions for elevation changes, erosion control, and site development challenges.
Retaining wall projects range from 4' landscape walls to 20' structural walls requiring engineering analysis, reinforcement design, and drainage systems. We work with geotechnical engineers when wall heights or soil conditions require engineered designs. Wall types include cast-in-place concrete, concrete block systems, and specialty wall systems depending on site requirements, wall height, and aesthetic considerations.
The retaining wall construction process involves excavation, foundation preparation, drainage system installation, wall construction with appropriate reinforcement, backfill placement, and surface finishing. Proper drainage behind walls is critical — we install drainage systems including weep holes, drainage pipe, and granular backfill to prevent hydrostatic pressure buildup that causes wall failure.
Commercial retaining walls commonly support parking lots at different elevations, retain soil for building pads on sloped sites, prevent erosion along property boundaries, and create level areas for loading docks or equipment placement. We coordinate wall construction with civil site plans and integrate walls with overall site grading and drainage design.
