Gold Coast Retaining Wall Excavation

February 12, 2023

Retaining walls are an essential feature across the Gold Coast, necessitated by our unique landscape of slopes and small hills. Whether you’re looking to create a usable, level backyard space or require a critical structure for landslide prevention and drainage improvement, a retaining wall offers both practical function and aesthetic appeal. With a variety of materials, colors, and sizes available, a professionally installed wall can significantly enhance your property.

Streamlining the Retaining Wall Process

The foundation of any successful retaining wall is precise excavation. Once you’ve determined the location and desired height of your wall, that’s where we step in. Our Gold Coast Retaining Wall Excavation process is designed for efficiency and accuracy:

Site Excavation: We utilize our specialized mini excavator to perform the initial cut and dig out the area to the exact height and dimensions required for your chosen wall type.
Post Hole Digging: We accurately dig the post holes according to the wall’s specifications.
Post Installation: We assist with the crucial step of setting the vertical posts and securing them with concrete, ensuring they are left to set overnight for maximum stability.

Specialized Equipment for Efficient Installation

Installing retaining walls, especially those using heavy concrete sleepers (which can weigh around 60kg each), requires heavy lifting and precision.

Luckily, we make the process quick and easy! Our mini excavator is equipped with a specialized Sleeper Grab attachment. This allows us to effortlessly lift and maneuver the heavy concrete sleepers, accurately lowering them straight into position for rapid, secure installation. This capability significantly reduces manual labor and speeds up the construction time.
