Embedded retaining walls can function in cantilever by relying on the embedded portion of the pile element to mobilise the passive resistance of the ground to combat the overturning force created by the retained soil. They can provide elegant and slender solutions when compared to gravity or reinforced concrete retaining walls.
Additionally, they can also function with props or anchors to limit pile deflections and shorten embedded pile depths.
Suttles offer a full range of piled embedded retaining walls for all our client's needs. This means that the most appropriate solution is selected for the project’s constraints and environment, and we can advise knowing that we have the right solution for all common situations.
