Different Types of Retaining Walls
- Wire Faced Walls
If you’re looking for a standard cost-effective retaining wall, wire-faced walls are the way to go. These walls are very lightweight, flexible, and easy to install. They can also be trimmed and modified to fit virtually any shape.
- Temporary and Permanent Shoring
Temporary shoring acts to prevent soil collapse during an excavation and can also protect the structural integrity of a building that lacks stability. As a temporary fix, it provides a way to hold the area steady so repairs or construction can be performed. Permanent shoring, on the other hand, provides permanent support for land or structures.
- Segmental Block Retaining Walls
Segmental block retaining walls consist of modular blocks that interlock with each other, creating an attractive look. Slaton Brothers uses a variety of rock, brick, and block materials to ensure this type of retaining wall has the look you’re going for.
- Sound/Noise Barriers
If you’re worried more about sound and noise levels than anything else, a sound/noise barrier is the way to go. These are a great option if you live near a highway, construction zone, or other noisy entity.
- Gabions
If you need to stabilize slopes along shorelines, hills, and other natural structures, a gabion retaining wall might be the way to go. Gabion walls consist of large wire baskets, which are filled with gravel, stones, or other heavy materials.
- Fence Walls
These are a great option when you want to combine strength, durability, and aesthetics. Fence walls are built to last using high-strength concrete masonry units, steel reinforcement, and concrete grout.
- Screen Walls
When you need a retaining wall that offers privacy, aesthetics, and division over actual retention, screen walls are the way to go.
- Soil Nail Walls
Soil nail walls are another heavy-duty, durable option for retaining wall construction.
- Prefabricated Bridges
Prefabricated bridges often get used alongside MSE walls and are both offered by Slaton Brothers. Contact us to get started if you need them both or just one or the other.
- Sculpted Shotcrete
Sculpted shotcrete might be newer and lesser-known than other types of retaining walls, but it’s rapidly growing in popularity. Sculpted shotcrete is like the spray foam insulation of the retaining wall construction industry, and it’s a great option if you’re looking for something affordable, quick, and reliable.
- Precast Modular Block Walls
While they’re similar to segmental rock retaining walls, MSE walls, and fence walls, precast modular block walls are unique. They use the same construction process as the other three retaining walls, but the precast blocks are much larger than the blocks and rocks used in other applications.
