Site Design Considerations for Segmental Retaining Walls
Presented by Bart Shippee, P.E.
SRW’s can bring tremendous value and solid aesthetics to many land development projects. But only when they are planned for, designed, and built correctly. This presentation covers the essential fundamentals of these structures, including SRW system overview, construction costs, roles and responsibilities of design professionals, suggested details for the civil engineer, and a light-hearted review of misapplications and oversights that have appeared (and continue to appear) on grading plans. Don’t let this happen to you! After this presentation you will have a better understanding of the components that comprise an SRW system, why you need to properly account for the components, and what to consider when laying out a site that includes segmental retaining walls.
