What Are Engineered Structural Walls?

An engineered structural retaining wall is a specially designed wall built to hold back soil and resist significant lateral pressure from slopes, heavy loads, or unstable ground conditions. Unlike decorative or simple gravity walls, engineered retaining walls are:

Designed by a Licensed Engineer

They are calculated and planned by a structural or geotechnical engineer who considers critical factors like soil type, drainage, load-bearing capacity, hydrostatic pressure, and slope stability.

Constructed for Strength & Safety

Engineered walls often include reinforcements such as:

  • Geogrid or tiebacks for added anchoring

  • Drainage systems to prevent water buildup
  • Deep footings or base courses for structural stability

Required for Large or Load-Bearing Projects

They are typically needed for:

  • Walls over 4 feet tall
  • Walls supporting driveways, roads, or buildings
  • Locations with significant slope or unstable soils

Permitted & Inspected

Most municipalities require permits and inspections for engineered structural retaining walls to ensure compliance with local codes and safety standards.

An engineered structural retaining wall is a critical infrastructure solution—not just a landscape feature. It’s designed to last, protect, and perform under pressure, especially for complex or high-load applications.
