Dunedin Homes approached Phi Group regarding the installation of a retaining wall at their new housing development in Halesowen. To maximise the development potential on site, the retaining wall was required in a cutting at the top of the site where there was an existing slope.
The retaining wall needed to be 115m long with a maximum retained height of 3.8m.
Solution
The Andacrib concrete crib retaining wall system was the most appropriate solution. Andacrib is a durable system that provides a maintenance-free 120-year design life and is very quick to build, with 30m2 face area a day easy to achieve.
It can also be landscaped using planting bags to give a vegetated face.
Tesimonial
Dunedin Homes were extremely pleased with the whole process, with David Kelly commenting:
"I know you will be aware but your team have completed the Andacrib walling at Haden Cross this morning.
I must report to you how much of a pleasure it has been to have Rick and his team undertaking the wall construction, they have been most helpful, nothing was too much trouble and the finished product looks brilliant, so a big thank you from everyone at Dunedin Homes - although we have personally thanked them this morning perhaps you could also pass on our gratitude."
