Retaining wall steel does more than simply support sleepers.
Steel sizing, spacing, galvanising and compatibility with concrete sleeper systems can significantly influence retaining wall performance, installation efficiency and long-term durability.
Selecting retaining wall steel based only on wall height can lead to unnecessary costs, poor performance or structural issues over time.
Factors such as soil conditions, surcharge loading, drainage, fences above retaining walls and wall height can all influence steel requirements.
