Inttratech Retaining Structures

A retaining structure is designed and built to withstand the lateral pressure of soil in different kinds of excavations. Retaining structures are vertical or near-vertical structures which are designed to prevent soil or rock from collapsing or sliding. They are used to bound soils between two different elevations often in areas of terrain possessing undesirable slopes or in areas where the landscape needs to be shaped severely and engineered for more specific purposes like hillside farming or roadway overpasses. They provide support to terrain where the ground slope is exceeded and it may collapse.

Some types of retaining Structures are:
Truss Retaining wall
Pile wall (secant piles, tangent piles)
Sheet Piled wall
Berliner wall
Geosynthetic Reinforced Retaining Wall
Soil nailed wall
Ground Anchored wall
