Retaining Wall Settlement Before Repair
Before the project began, settlement had caused the retaining wall and adjacent brickwork to separate, creating visible gaps and signs of structural movement. These conditions indicated a loss of support beneath the wall and highlighted the need for permanent stabilization.
Excavation for Push Pier Installation
The crew used an excavator to expose the retaining wall and concrete steps, allowing access for the Push Pier installation process. This equipment helped efficiently prepare the area so permanent support could be installed beneath the structures to address settlement and prevent further movement.
Push Piers Being Loaded to Stabilize the Retaining Wall
The hydraulic equipment was connected to the Push Piers to advance them into stable, load-bearing soil below the retaining wall. Once proper capacity was reached, the system was used to help stabilize and support the retaining wall, preventing further settlement and movement.
Completed Retaining Wall Stabilization with Push Piers
Title: Completed Retaining Wall Stabilization with Push Piers Summary: The Push Pier system was fully installed and is now barely visible from the surface, preserving the appearance of the property. With the piers transferring the load of the retaining wall to stable soil below, the wall is now permanently stabilized and protected against future settlement and movement.
