Ground Stabilisation Systems designs commercial retaining wall systems that are built tough, reliable, and long-lasting.
We have decades of experience planning and building commercial retaining wall solutions throughout Australia
The broad range of skills and extensive experience of the Ground Stabilisation Systems team often come together in what sometimes seems to be the “simplest” service we provide: retaining wall solutions.
It is essential that a detailed analysis of the area’s geology and the inherent pressures on any proposed retaining wall system be fully and professionally assessed in the planning stage.
The team from Ground Stabilisation Systems can investigate your particular retaining problems and provide the best and most cost-effective solution for a successful outcome. Drainage, rock bolting, waterproof membranes, and shotcreting may all be employed to ensure a successful, long-term, and worry-free solution for our clients.

Ground Stabilisation Systems designs and builds tough, reliable, and long-lasting commercial retaining wall solutions that retain soil and improve the area’s functionality and safety.
These walls are built for professional businesses, councils and governments across Australia’s East Coast.
Before constructing concrete sleeper retaining walls, it is essential to complete a detailed analysis of the area’s geology and professionally assess the inherent pressures on the proposed retaining wall in the planning stage.
Safety is the primary concern of any project. Understanding the unique challenges presented at each location and its inherent environmental factors is crucial.
This can often be one of the most complex areas of a project, with many retaining wall solutions subject to massive forces, as well as the extra complications of water and the lack of a stable base on which the retaining wall can sit. Progress can be significantly disrupted and delayed during construction without well-planned retaining wall solutions and systems.
Our team can scope out the area and review retaining wall plans for potential dangers, pressures, or stability issues, ensuring the safety of your retaining system plus ensuring your walls remain strong for years to come with minimal maintenance required.
We work in accordance with Australian Standards and ISO 9001 (Quality Management Systems), ISO 45001 (Occupational Health & Safety Management Systems), and ISO 14001 (Environmental Management Systems) to guarantee a high-quality result, no matter the job at hand.
If you need a professional assessment from an experienced team of ground stabilisation experts, we can liaise and work with you to achieve a great result. We offer a variety of solutions, including engineered retaining wall solutions, gravity wall, piling solutions, walking track construction, and new geo-cell solutions.
Retaining walls are a popular choice when it comes to landscaping around the home.
Often used as feature walls, planter boxes, or even basic walls, retaining walls can improve the look and privacy of your outdoor area.
These walls are also designed to be functional. Retaining walls hold and retain soil behind them, plus are designed to match existing elements in the garden, including the slope of the block and drainage abilities.
Ground Stabilisation Systems build and design domestic and commercial retaining walls to fit the surroundings. We ensure the structure will be safe and have a long lifespan, requiring little to no maintenance in the future.
Designing a retaining wall for the surroundings requires expert knowledge to determine the most appropriate method of construction of the wall. At GSS, we operate throughout the Eastern Seaboard, offering retaining wall design and construction services to meet the needs of local communities.
From planning to building, GSS can assist with the creation of a new retaining wall for your outdoor area, no matter the purpose or size.

What type of retaining wall is right for my project?
The right system depends on the ground conditions, wall height, drainage requirements and loads behind the wall. Our team assesses the site before recommending options such as concrete sleepers, piling systems or engineered concrete retaining wall blocks.
What is the difference between concrete sleepers and concrete blocks?
Concrete sleepers are installed horizontally between structural posts, while concrete blocks are assembled to form a reinforced retaining structure. Both can provide durable soil retention when correctly designed for the site conditions.
Can retaining walls be used around residential properties?
Yes. Residential walls can support sloping land, form planter boxes and improve the layout of an outdoor area. They may also help create more functional space around a house when properly designed and drained.
Can a retaining wall be used as garden edging?
Low retaining structures can sometimes be used as garden edging or to separate landscaped areas. The design should still account for soil pressure, drainage and the required wall height.
Why is drainage important behind a retaining wall?
Water pressure can place significant stress on a retaining wall and contribute to movement or failure. A suitable drainage system helps manage moisture and protects the structure over the long term.
Do retaining walls require engineering?
Engineering requirements depend on the height, location, soil conditions and loads affecting the wall. Ground Stabilisation Systems can assess the project and help determine the safest and most appropriate retaining wall solution.
