What We Provide
Agricultural Pipe Drainage
Perforated agricultural pipe installed behind the retaining wall in a gravel envelope to collect and discharge groundwater before it builds up as hydrostatic pressure. Standard practice for all new retaining wall construction.
Slotted Pipe Drainage
Slotted HDPE drainage pipe for higher-volume drainage applications behind large retaining walls and on sites with high groundwater tables. Installed with geotextile filter fabric to prevent soil ingress.
Gravel Backfill Drainage
Free-draining gravel backfill placed behind the retaining wall to provide a permeable drainage layer. Gravel backfill reduces hydrostatic pressure and extends the service life of any retaining wall system.
Surface Channel Drainage
Surface drainage channels installed at the top and base of retaining walls to intercept and redirect surface water runoff before it saturates the retained soil. Critical for walls on sloped sites.
Retaining Wall Waterproofing
Membrane waterproofing, tanking, and crystalline waterproofing applied to the back face of concrete and masonry retaining walls to prevent moisture penetration and protect structural reinforcement from corrosion.
Poor drainage is the leading cause of retaining wall failure across the Twin Cities. Every retaining wall we build includes a drainage system designed for the site's specific groundwater conditions. If you have an existing wall that is leaning, cracking, or showing signs of movement, our repair and restoration service addresses both the drainage failure and the structural damage. Drainage is also critical for concrete block walls and commercial retaining wall systems where hydrostatic pressure loads are highest. Our shoreline restoration work also integrates drainage design to manage water at the land-water interface.
