Retaining Wall Civil Engineering

Retaining walls hold back earth at grade changes on commercial sites — parking lots, site boundaries, grading transitions, and building approaches. Apex Grid engineers freestanding site retaining walls using appropriate wall types for the application, coordinating geotechnical parameters with the structural design.
