A retaining wall is used very often in construction, and it has the basic function of retaining soil behind it. Therefore, it kind of functions like a barrier of sorts. Depending on the location and purpose, various materials may be used to build them- like boulders, poured concrete, rocks, timber, etc.
Nilex provides a vast portfolio of products –
including the ECO Rock Retaining Wall, which is intended for commercial, residential, or
industrial construction sites, and is used for aesthetic and structural
purposes. The ECO Rock wall is a very good option composed of a galvanized wire
basket filled with rocks while being stabilized with reinforced backfill. The
backfill is designed to be flexible and strong- especially against seismic
activity or differential settlement.
A retaining wall with a drainage pipe is an additional
precaution that is normally taken if areas have poorly draining soils. This is
because water from rainfall or a storm may
cause the retaining wall to move or fall. Water that flows around such a wall
may also eat away the bottom by loosening soil particles, and may also cause uncontrolled
growth of vegetation- which is not ideal.
Nilex helps you set up a fool-proof system, complete
with a drainage pipe. This is to ensure that the rock retaining
wall has a long life and functions well. When installing such a system,
it is best to opt for a drainage pipe that has not just one slot, but multiple
ones.
