Brisbane West includes steep terrain, elevated lots and varied soil profiles. This is common around The Gap, Bardon, Mount Coot-tha, Indooroopilly, Kenmore and Chapel Hill. Many of these suburbs have older site cuts, reactive soils and sloping blocks that need engineered drainage and surcharge checks. The Ipswich region, including Springfield Lakes, Redbank Plains, Ripley, Brassall, Yamanto and Augustine Heights, has engineered fill, clay-based soils and new estates. As a result, retaining walls in these areas must meet modern subdivision standards and tighter boundary rules. Our engineering reflects these differences and ensures each design responds to ground behaviour, surcharge loads and council requirements.

Each retaining wall plan uses your site’s geotechnical conditions, boundary setbacks and drainage needs to support a smooth and compliant construction process. We aim to provide clear, contractor-ready drawings that make construction efficient, safe and predictable.

For official retaining wall guidelines, you can refer to the Queensland Development Code (QDC), specifically NMP 1.7 – Retaining Walls and Excavation and Filling.
