Concrete, Block/CMU, or Wood retaining wall design, calculations & specifications by email within 24 hours (M-F)!

DESIGN CRITERIA & DETAILS
Is Xpress Engineering able to design what you need?
Our standard designs are for retaining walls of up to 8 feet tall, and can include curves or right angles. We include structural calculations specific to your scenario with a typical section of wall with all dimensions, reinforcement, and notes needed to properly construct the wall. Your wall may curve, stop, or even turn 90-degrees, and the typical section will remain consistent.
We include specifications for supporting soil, concrete strength and type, rebar grade and lap criteria, and other important information for constructing the wall. These are not step by step construction instructions, they are criteria to adhere to for a proper design. The homeowner or contractor must be familiar with retaining wall construction steps.
Please review these limitations below before proceeding:
