Retaining structures

Retaining structures are used for lateral adherence of soil due to the change of ground elevation, to ensure slopes or cuttings and to increase stability in landslides and rockfalls. They are divided into gravitational stone or concrete walls, reinforced concrete (console) retaining structures, reinforced soil structures from modular elements and geogrids, gabion retaining structures, etc.

With the preparation of project documentation and the choice of technology for construction works of new retaining structures we also offer design solutions and technology choice for remediation of existing unstable and dilapidated retaining structures.
