Frequently asked questions
Does a fence affect retaining wall design?
A fence can add wind loads to the posts and foundations. Its height, type and attachment should be included in the design brief.
Is a soil report required?
It depends on the ground conditions and project. Geotechnical information may be needed to establish founding capacity, soil parameters and groundwater conditions.
Can you determine responsibility for a damaged boundary wall?
An engineering report can assess condition, likely technical causes and repair options. Legal responsibility and ownership may require separate advice and records.
