Deadman Anchor Retaining Walls

Deadman Tieback Retaining Wall

For retaining walls up to 1.2mm wall with flat land behind and no surcharges.

Deadman anchor pile method

All parts come ready to install, no special tools required.

In ground anchor beam method

Our system is ideal for retaining walls up to 1200mm

Deadman Tieback Retaining Wall

This method is for sites where soil conditions are not suitable for the standard post installation method

Every post has a tieback tendon to support the corten retaining wall. In weak soils, consult an engineer on anchor size and location.

The modular layout has over 100 different panel sizes to choose from, this enables you to build corten retaining walls that suit almost any location

Chain ready to be dropped into reinforced deadman anchor pile

This is an engineer designed system, using the strong steel posts set in concrete pile hole construction method. This gives you a narrow retaining wall, ideal for where space is limited.

Retaining wall drainage info

A well built corten retaining wall with proper drainage will easily last 30-50yrs plus, depending on the environment

Retaining wall drainage info

Proper drainage is essential for all corten retaining walls to prevent failure. Accumulated water behind the wall causes immense hydrostatic pressure, a lateral force that can cause the structure to bulge, or collapse. Drainage systems, like gravel backfill and perforated pipes, relieve this pressure, prevent hydrostatic pressure failures,

All parts predrilled for easy assembly

The modular design of Corten panel walls allows for faster installation These panels can be easily put together with minimal required tools and expertise. Our corten retaining wall system is DIY friendly and all parts come pre drilled ready to install with no special tools required. You should not need to do any cutting or welding of the corten.

Corten retaining wall with capping

Setout examples no top capping

Generally the retaining wall pile hole depth is equal to the height of the retaining wall. However in softer soils or walls supporting sloping ground, driveways, or buildings, the post and pile retaining wall method solves this by adjusting the post spacings and pile depths.

Setout examples with top capping

Corten steel requires no maintenance, as over time it develops a crystalline rust patina that dramatically reduces further corrosion

Deep concrete piles are the invisible support system
