Retaining Wall Inspections & Structural Assessment Reports
Our Retaining Wall Inspections & Structural Assessment Reports service gives homeowners, builders, and property managers clear evaluations of new, existing, or failing retaining walls across Queensland. We assess the condition of your wall, identify safety or structural risks, and provide practical engineering recommendations. This helps prevent failure, support repairs, and guide rebuilds.
During each inspection, our engineers review soil movement, drainage performance, wall alignment, footing integrity, surcharge loads, and any visible distress such as cracking, leaning, or water pressure build-up. In addition, we follow Queensland engineering standards and council expectations. This ensures each finding is accurate, compliant, and suitable for certification or submission.
Our structural reports provide detailed observations, photographs, engineering commentary, and clear next steps. As a result, you receive direct guidance on repairs, reinforcement options, or complete replacement when required. These reports also help owners resolve disputes, meet council conditions, satisfy insurance requests, and understand the causes of retaining wall failure.
We provide inspections throughout Brisbane, Ipswich, Redlands, Logan, the Gold Coast, Moreton Bay, the Scenic Rim, and the Sunshine Coast. Furthermore, we assess all wall types — including timber sleepers, concrete sleepers, block walls, crib walls, gabions, and reinforced concrete structures. This gives you the clarity and confidence needed to make informed and safe decisions.
For official retaining wall performance requirements, you can also review the Queensland Development Code (QDC), particularly NMP 1.7 which outlines standards for retaining walls, excavation, and filling.
Retaining Wall Inspections & Structural Assessment Reports – What’s Included
On-Site Assessment & Structural Condition Review
We assess the current condition of your retaining wall, including alignment, footing exposure, soil behaviour, drainage performance, cracking patterns, wall movement, surcharge loads, and nearby structures. This forms the foundation of your engineering recommendations.
Council-Compliant Engineering Drawings
Where rectification is needed, we prepare updated or replacement engineering drawings that reflect the wall’s current condition and required repair works. All drawings comply with Australian Standards and relevant council requirements.
Structural Calculations & Engineering Analysis
Your report includes all structural calculations relevant to the wall’s performance — including overturning, bearing capacity, slip, surcharge loading, and material adequacy. Reinforcement and footing details are provided where repair or reconstruction is needed.
Drainage & Footing Condition Review
We inspect drainage lines, weep holes, groundwater influence, waterproofing, seepage issues, footing depth, and soil exposure. You receive clear recommendations on what drainage or footing upgrades are required to restore wall stability and prevent future movement.
Fast Reporting Turnaround + Ongoing Support
We provide fast report delivery so you can progress with repairs, compliance, insurance discussions, or council enquiries. Our engineers remain available for clarification, follow-up questions, and builder support throughout the process.
Why Choose Our Retaining Wall Inspections & Structural Assessment Reports
Our retaining wall inspection and structural assessment service gives homeowners, builders, and property managers across Queensland clear, certified engineering guidance for new, existing, or failing retaining walls. We focus on safety, structural performance, compliance, and the ground conditions specific to your region — including Brisbane (North, South, East, West), Ipswich, the Gold Coast, Logan, Redlands, Moreton Bay, the Scenic Rim, and the Sunshine Coast. By reviewing soil conditions, drainage issues, surcharge loads, wall movement, cracking patterns, and nearby structures, we identify the true cause of any failure or performance concern.
We streamline the process by supplying clear, builder-ready assessment reports and practical engineering recommendations that remove guesswork. As a result, you avoid unnecessary costs, delays, or incomplete repairs. In addition, our reports follow Australian Standards and local council requirements, including Brisbane City Council, Ipswich City Council, Gold Coast City Council, Redland City Council, Moreton Bay Regional Council, Logan City Council, and Sunshine Coast Council.
