Retaining Walls Arundel
Most retaining walls that fail do so because water builds up behind them. Drainage is the part worth paying attention to.

Why choose Orange Projects

Ag pipe, gravel backfill and a sensible discharge point are part of the job, not an optional extra.
Why drainage matters behind a wall
Soil holding water is much heavier than dry soil, and it pushes harder on the wall. A slotted ag pipe at the base, wrapped in sock and surrounded by drainage gravel, lets that water out.
The pipe needs somewhere to go, so we plan the outlet to a garden, pit or legal point of discharge before the wall goes up.
Drainage details
Ag pipe
Slotted pipe at the base of the wall, falling to an outlet.
Gravel backfill
Free-draining aggregate behind the sleepers instead of clay.
Geofabric
Fabric between soil and gravel so fines do not clog the drain.
