Geogrid retaining wall example

[rmayo (Randy Mayo, P.E.)]

Here is a free GeoGrid Retaining Wall graphic for an 8-foot wall measured from the top of the leveling pad to the bottom or the Cap Unit. Any retaining wall over 4-foot typically will have to be designed by an engineer. There are dozens of block manufactures and methods of installation. Modifications will have to be made for sloping lots, high water table, fencing, surcharge such as a road or parking lot close to the wall.
