Retaining Wall Design

Retaining walls are our specialty. We know how they’re built, what information you need during construction, and how we can help you best. We always aim to provide easy to follow design drawings for every custom retaining wall project we take on.

We have extensive experience with a wide variety of retaining wall blocks and facing types – Redi Rock, Verti Block, Cornerstone, Allan Block, Magnumstone, Keystone, Pisa, Lego Block. You name it, we know it.

Throughout our years of experience we’ve seen retaining walls built on the side of mountains supported on screw piles, retaining walls used as flood walls, and retaining walls used to build a bridge over a highway. Our engineers have designed, inspected, and certified hundreds of retaining walls in Calgary and across Alberta and British Columbia.

We can help you decide on the type of retaining wall system that best suits your budget and vision and will walk you through every step of the process from planning to the preparation of Structural Design Drawings, tendering of the project to qualified contractors, and inspections during construction.

Whether you are planning a small backyard wall or an abutment for a highway interchange, we can help you out. A retaining wall designed and certified by Factor will be guaranteed to perform. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out to one of our friendly engineers, we are happy to talk retaining walls any time.
