The owner of a shopping centre in Labrador needed to replace an ageing timber retaining wall that had been standing for over 30 years. The wall was deteriorating and on the verge of collapse, posing a safety risk to the high-traffic area. Given its location on a main road, they required a solution that was termite-resistant, durable, and could fit within the limited space available. After assessing the site, a concrete sleeper retaining wall was chosen as the ideal replacement.
Our Solution
To ensure a smooth and safe installation, we first engaged an underground services locator to identify any sewer and power lines in the construction zone. Once confirmed, we proceeded with installing a concrete sleeper retaining wall, which provided a strong, long-lasting alternative to the old timber structure. The compact design of concrete sleepers made them ideal for the limited space, and their resistance to termites meant they would require minimal maintenance in the future.
Outcome
The project was completed within just three days, providing the shopping centre with a sturdy and reliable retaining wall that enhances both safety and aesthetics. The concrete sleeper retaining wall ensures longevity and eliminates the risk of termite damage, a key concern for the property owner. Despite the high foot traffic in the area, pedestrian access was carefully managed throughout construction, minimising disruptions to businesses and shoppers.
