Structural Retaining Walls Engineered with Concrete Reinforcement
Built for Soil Support and Long-Term Stability
Retaining Walls: Defined and Engineered for Performance
Retaining walls are structural elements built to resist lateral earth movement by holding back soil, especially where there are elevation changes or slope instability. These walls play a critical role in erosion control, slope management, and soil retention. Constructed using reinforced concrete systems, they support changes in grade while maintaining durability under shifting loads and environmental conditions.
The construction process by J's Footings, LLC in Chino Valley begins with an evaluation of the soil type, wall height requirements, water drainage behavior, and load calculations. Based on this, a wall system is selected, gravity, cantilever, or segmental block, each with its own structural demands. Gravity walls rely on their mass, while cantilevered systems utilize concrete footings and steel reinforcement to resist pressure. Segmental walls often incorporate interlocking blocks with geogrid reinforcement.
Foundation preparation starts with excavation and soil compaction, ensuring a level, stable base. Concrete footings are installed where applicable, followed by the main wall structure and reinforcement placement. Geogrids or rebar systems are layered within the backfill to distribute pressure and enhance load-bearing performance. Integrated drainage systems such as perforated piping and gravel backfill are installed to prevent hydrostatic pressure buildup. The final result is a strong, long-lasting structure tailored to site-specific needs by J's Footings, LLC
