Retained heights
Retained heights and changes in site levels.
IN-HOUSE DESIGN & ENGINEERING
Custom Design. Practical Engineering. Proven Experience.
No two sites are the same. We engineer solutions to suit.
INTEGRATED SOLUTIONS
In-house design, engineering & construction expertise, in one team.
With over 20 years in the retaining wall industry, Urbanscapes develops tailored retaining wall solutions based on the specific requirements of each project. Combining design and construction expertise with in-house precast manufacturing, we consider the complete picture — from site conditions and engineering requirements to production, installation and project cost.
ENGINEERED AROUND YOUR REQUIREMENTS
Every site is different. Your wall should be too.
Retaining wall projects present different challenges, from varying ground conditions and retained heights to restricted access, drainage requirements and nearby structures.
Urbanscapes takes a project-specific approach to retaining wall design, considering the site conditions, engineering requirements and construction methodology when determining a suitable solution. Rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach, we work to identify the most appropriate wall configuration for the project, balancing performance, constructability, durability and cost.
Ground conditions
Ground conditions and foundation requirements.
Surcharge loads
Surcharge loads and adjacent structures.
Drainage
Drainage and groundwater conditions.
Boundaries & access
Site boundaries and access constraints.
Manufacture & installation
Manufacturing and installation requirements.
Budgets & programs
Project budgets and construction programs.
Finishes
Architectural finishes and aesthetic requirements.
OUR INTEGRATED APPROACH
In-house design. Manufacture. Construct.
As a design and construction company with in-house precast manufacturing capability, Urbanscapes considers how retaining wall solutions will perform throughout the project lifecycle. We understand that design decisions affect material requirements, manufacturing efficiency, transport, installation methodology and overall project cost.
By considering these factors together, we can identify opportunities to improve coordination, simplify construction and develop solutions suited to the practical requirements of the site.

Custom solutions for complex challenges.
Not every project can be addressed with a standard retaining wall configuration. Some sites require a more considered approach to wall geometry, retained heights, access restrictions, loading conditions or construction sequencing.
Depending on the application, this may involve adapting an established system, assessing alternative configurations or coordinating project-specific engineering — developing practical solutions that meet the required structural, functional and commercial objectives.
- Variable wall heights and stepped profiles
- Restricted access and difficult site conditions
- Commercial and industrial developments
- Civil infrastructure and large-scale earthworks
- Project-specific precast panel dimensions
- Different panel finishes and colours
- Coordination with surrounding structures and site infrastructure
ENGINEERING-LED DESIGN & COORDINATION
More than a wall. A complete solution.
Every retaining wall project has its own site conditions and engineering requirements. A successful solution considers more than the wall itself — including geotechnical conditions, structural stability, foundations, surcharge loads, drainage, groundwater, durability and construction staging.
At Urbanscapes, we assess the factors that influence wall performance and constructability to help identify a suitable retaining wall solution for your project.
Where specialist geotechnical investigations, detailed engineering calculations or certification are required, we coordinate with appropriately qualified professionals to support the design process and project requirements.
OVER 20 YEARS OF INDUSTRY EXPERIENCE
Experience That Makes a Difference.
With over 20 years in the retaining wall industry, Urbanscapes understands the challenges involved in delivering retaining wall projects across different sites and applications. Our experience provides practical insight into the relationship between design, construction methodology, manufacturing, site access and project cost.
An effective solution must be more than technically appropriate. It must also be practical to build, suited to the site and aligned with the project's overall objectives. We bring this experience to every project.
