About
About Retaining Wall Engineers: We are a specialised structural engineering consultancy dedicated exclusively to retaining wall design, certification, and compliance across Southeast Queensland. Unlike general engineering firms, we focus solely on retaining walls. This allows us to provide highly accurate, practical, and site-specific solutions that builders and homeowners can trust. Each project is approached with professional care, technical precision, and a strong understanding of local ground conditions and council requirements.
Drawing on extensive experience across Brisbane, Ipswich, the Gold Coast, Redlands, Logan, Moreton Bay and the Scenic Rim, our engineers understand the unique regional challenges. The experience covers Queensland soil types, sloping terrain, drainage issues, older subdivisions, and modern estate developments. That knowledge allows us to design retaining walls that not only meet Australian Standards, but also perform reliably on-site under real-world conditions.
In addition, for better clarity and buildability throughout the entire process, we provide documentation that eliminates guesswork for your contractor. It includes structural calculations, footing details, reinforcement schedules, and drainage specifications. That reduces variations, delays, and unnecessary construction costs. In turn, this ensures your retaining wall is completed safely and efficiently.
Many homeowners choose Retaining Wall Engineers because we combine technical expertise with practical engineering judgement. Our designs balance strength, cost-effectiveness, and long-term stability, helping you avoid common issues such as wall failure, drainage problems, and non-compliance with council requirements. Thanks to our fixed pricing and fast turnaround times, we’re able to deliver an engineering service that is reliable, transparent, and tailored to your project’s needs.
About Our Approach to Retaining Wall Engineering
At Retaining Wall Engineers, We Specialise In
Design, certification, and assessment of residential retaining walls throughout Queensland. Our expertise covers every major retaining wall system used by homeowners, builders, and landscapers. As a result, each project is engineered for safety, durability, and full compliance with council and Australian Standards.
As a result, we provide clear, buildable retaining wall designs that consider ground behaviour, site constraints, drainage requirements, and surcharge loads. The engineering approach combines structural precision with practical construction knowledge, resulting in plans that are accurate, efficient to build, and suited to real-world site conditions.
Clients across Queensland trust us for a wide range of wall systems, including:
• Timber retaining walls
• Concrete sleeper walls
• Reinforced concrete retaining walls
• Masonry and block walls
• Crib walls and gabion systems
• Sloping site and high-load retaining structures
• Form 15 & Form 16 certification
• Failure assessments and replacement designs
We design each plan for long-term performance and clear builder communication. That also supports smooth approval through Queensland councils. At Retaining Wall Engineers, our commitment is simple — provide engineering that is safe, compliant, buildable, and backed by specialist retaining wall expertise.
For official retaining wall guidelines, you can also refer to the Queensland Development Code (QDC) — specifically NMP 1.7 – Retaining Walls and Excavation and Filling.
