Site Structures

Retaining Walls Construction

Engineered retaining wall systems for commercial site development. Cast-in-place concrete walls, segmental retaining walls, and mechanically stabilized earth systems for parking structures, loading areas, and grade transitions on your development project.

Retaining wall construction for commercial properties requires engineering expertise that balances structural performance with project economics. The varying topography throughout the DFW metroplex creates grade challenges that retaining walls must address while supporting parking areas, building pads, and site access requirements that commercial developments demand.

As your general contractor for retaining wall construction, we manage the complete scope including structural design coordination, permitting, excavation, wall construction, drainage integration, and backfill operations. Cast-in-place concrete walls, segmental retaining wall systems, and mechanically stabilized earth installations all fall within our capabilities, with system selection driven by height requirements, soil conditions, and project budgets.

Commercial property owners benefit from retaining walls that solve multiple site challenges simultaneously. A well-designed wall creates usable building pad or parking area while managing stormwater and preventing erosion. Industrial facilities along the I-20 and I-30 corridors frequently require retaining walls to maximize developable area on challenging sites, transforming unusable slopes into functional truck courts and storage yards.

Property developers working with municipal planning departments appreciate our experience navigating retaining wall permitting and inspection requirements. Walls exceeding certain heights trigger structural review and geotechnical certification requirements. We coordinate these technical submittals and work with your civil engineer to ensure wall designs meet both performance requirements and approval timelines.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of retaining walls do you construct?

We construct cast-in-place concrete walls, segmental retaining wall systems (SRW), and mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) walls. System selection depends on wall height, site conditions, aesthetic requirements, and project budget. We help evaluate options and recommend the optimal approach for each application.

How tall can retaining walls be for commercial projects?

Commercial retaining walls can range from 3-4 feet for landscaping applications to 20+ feet for major grade transitions. Taller walls require engineering design and may necessitate tiebacks, soil nails, or mechanically stabilized systems. Height limitations depend on soil conditions and available construction area.

What drainage is required for retaining walls?

All retaining walls require proper drainage to prevent hydrostatic pressure buildup that can cause wall failure. This typically includes perforated pipe at wall base, drainage aggregate behind wall face, and weep holes or drainage composites. We design and install complete drainage systems as part of wall construction.

Do retaining walls require permits in Mesquite?

Yes, retaining walls exceeding certain heights (typically 4 feet) require building permits. Taller walls require structural engineering and may need geotechnical review. We handle permit coordination and work with your engineer to provide required submittals to building departments.

Can retaining walls be constructed on active job sites?

Yes, we regularly construct retaining walls on active construction sites. Phased construction approaches allow building work to proceed in completed areas while wall construction continues. Sequencing and coordination are critical to maintaining project schedules.
