Foundation Options

The reinforcement design in our L shape retaining walls, are ideally suited for projects where the retained material is on the toe side.

Depending on the application & site ground conditions, the units do not require fixing to a reinforced concrete foundation and can be installed directly onto a Type1 sub-base & sand/cement blinding layer.

If you are installing onto an existing foundation, or cannot backfill in front of the unit as shown below, a resin anchor system can be used to prevent sliding.

For situations where you will require to retain material on the back of the wall or for double load scenarios, (retaining on both faces), please refer to our DLF10GS product.
