Hillside Retaining Wall Repair · Pile-Supported Foundation · Malibu, California
A failed hillside wall rebuilt on a deep pile-and-grade-beam foundation — engineered alongside the soils engineer to resist future saturation events.
A redesigned retaining wall engineered to resist increased lateral pressures — anchored on deep piles and grade beams that extend along the entire wall length.
An existing hillside retaining wall had failed from soil oversaturation, threatening a residential backyard and demanding a foundation solution that could resist future movement.
We coordinated closely with the soils engineer, then designed a deep pile-and-grade-beam foundation along the full wall length — engineered to mitigate increased lateral pressures from soil saturation.
A restored wall with deep foundational support — capable of withstanding future saturation events and meeting all local code and site constraints.
