Retaining Wall Design

Summit Geoengineering Services has performed designs and prepared construction drawings for over 1.2 million square feet of temporary and permanent retaining walls since we began offering this service in the mid-1990s. We have designed gravity and geogrid reinforced walls using various combinations of reinforcing and facing materials.
Retaining Wall Experience

Design Services

Our services include full contractor shop drawing submittals and responses to engineer reviews.  We also offer preliminary quantity estimates. Our geotechnical specialization allows for us to evaluate wall construction sites for global stability. If deemed prudent or required by project specifications, Summit can perform global slope stability analyses. In addition, our geotechnical expertise enables us to interpret subsurface data from our own explorations or geotechnical reports/exploration logs prepared by others.

We have inspected the construction of many of the walls that we have designed.  We also have been retained to investigate wall failures as an independent consultant.  For our designs, we utilize NCMA and AASHTO LRFD methodologies. We have developed product specific design programs using Mathcad and Excel spreadsheets.

We have designed gravity and geogrid reinforced walls using various combinations of reinforcing and facing materials, including the following:
