Retaining Wall Bendigo
Retaining walls are built to hold or retain the soil around it. This is one of the most important pieces of construction and one of the most needed constructions if your property is built on land which experiences soil erosion. Without a retaining wall, your entire construction structure can collapse. This is why retaining walls are extremely important if you are building a property on shifting soil or slopes. Retaining Walls are very important in keeping the land or the soil under and around your property from shifting. If the soil continues to shift, the foundation of your property will weaken. As a result your property will collapse. This is what we see in cases of a landslide or flooding. The soil around the property shifts resulting in the collapse of the property. I am sure you have seen photos and videos of properties collapsing during landslides and floods due to shifting soils. Most homes built on a shifting soil experience gradual depletion in the soil even if there is no landslide or flooding. As a result the property begins to develop cracks and collapse over time. Retaining wall is usually a stone wall built around the property. It goes deep in the soil and thereby stops any soil shifting beyond the wall. The kind of wall you build and the material you use will depend on the kind of soil your property is situated on. Retaining wall is not a normal wall and not every contractor can build it. You need an experienced contractor to build a retaining wall.
