Project scope involved the structural design of a modular block retaining wall utilizing the “Redi-Rock” Wall System. The wall was required to maximize the footprint of a new store location with restrictive property boundaries located along Interstate 64 in Cabell County, WV. The wall has a maximum height of 15’ and is 196’ in length with a total square footage of 2200 SF. An adjacent building located immediately above the site posed a unique challenge for this project in that there was limited space for geo-grid reinforcement behind the wall. We designed the wall as an unreinforced gravity wall using a terraced setback along the entire length to meet this requirement.
Working closely with the contractor and the wall supplier, we developed a wall design that met aesthetic requirements, property boundary limitations, and was cost-effective and easily constructible.
