Commercial retaining walls in Brisbane

While it is one of our “simplest” services, retaining walls are our most popular. They are designed and constructed to hold the lateral pressure of soil or hold back soil materials. They are both effective and economical, solving even the most complex soil stability problems.

Retaining walls are commonly used in mining and construction projects; however, over the last few decades, they have become popular for enhancing landscaping.

Ground Stabilisation Systems has been called upon for retaining walls for over 20 years. For all sizes of commercial projects, we always complete a detailed analysis of the area’s geology, ensuring the pressures on a proposed retaining wall are accounted for in the planning stage.

From this analysis, we can determine the best and most cost-effective retaining wall solution for your needs.

Our geotechnical team have worked with local businesses, councils, and governments across Australia, including in the Brisbane area. We have an in-depth understanding of the area’s geology, meaning we have the knowledge and skills required to build an effective retaining wall—no matter how complex or challenging the area may be.

We will ensure that your new retaining wall has a stable foundation that can withstand the inherent soil and/or water pressures.

To book a consultation, contact the team from Ground Stabilisation Systems today. We can provide an obligation-free quote to help you plan for your upcoming project or review existing retaining wall plans and ensure their safety.

Our use of shotcrete

Among our service offerings, shotcrete is one of the most popular and effective techniques. In Australia, shotcrete (or mock rock) is applied when regular concrete is not practical or possible including areas in high or inaccessible places.

Shotcrete has become a standard construction tool and is often used for mining and in shoring where there is an open excavation. It is also regularly used for ground stabilisation and tunnelling.

As a technique, shotcrete is simple yet practical. Using a large hose, we spray concrete pneumatically at a high velocity onto a surface.

A variety of final finishes can be achieved using shotcrete including gun, screed, wood float, sponge, steel trowel and architectural mock rock. With this in mind, shotcrete has become more popular in domestic settings, more so in very hilly areas of Australia.

However, shotcrete is more commonly used in the following projects:

  • Ground/ slope stabilisation and retaining walls
  • Rock stabilisation in areas with steep slopes
  • Erosion control
  • Anchored retaining walls
  • Temporary shoring for builders
  • Drainage and water flow control under buildings
  • Imitation rock walls.

 

While shotcrete can save a lot of time in a stabilisation or remediation project, it is also a high-risk form of construction and must be administered by an experienced team like Ground Stabilisation Systems.

It is important that the site is well prepared and researched before shotcrete is applied to any surface. Contact our team for shotcrete in Brisbane — we will complete a site inspection to ensure shotcrete is the safest and most effective solution for your project.

Our testimonials

Jeff Breen – Armidale Regional Council, Project Manager

The GSS team worked well with all stakeholders to ensure the landslip remediations stayed on budget and program. GSS provided a good quality project with little impact to the local community. I would not hesitate to recommend them in the future for similar works.

Ahmed Gomaa – Heritage Stoneworks, Project Manager

The overall performance of the contractor was good, they were helpful, supportive, and professional. The quality of their work was good. They managed our requirements, as well as our stakeholders, in a timely manner. The contractor complied with the Heritage Architectural requirements and maintained the heritage significance of the rock face. GSS will be recommended to handle similar projects with the division in the future.  GSS provided a superior service and were able to keep the Project on time and on budget.

Jon Hines – MC Group, Project Manager

Ground Stabilisation Systems installed approx. 1,000sqm of geowebbing including rock anchoring to our Billy’s Lookout Estate. Peter and the team completed the project in a professional, reliable and safe manner to present a quality product. I would not hesitate to recommend Ground Stabilisation Systems.

Lizzie Attwood – Coffs Harbour City Council

GSS performed soil nailing, rock nailing, shotcrete, steel cable and mesh bank protection systems. Some of these works were over water and all were conducted with minimal environmental impact. We would have no hesitation in using Ground Stabilisation Systems on future works.

Troy Gould – KCE, Project Manager

It was great to work with an organisation that was on site when agreed, completed their works with the agreed time frames and went over and above to ensure that not only KCE but our client was happy with all works to be carried out.

Elena Kuzman – Abril Building Solutions, Project Manager

We found GSS to be a trustworthy and valuable company, with the ability to deliver a high quality of work, under difficult circumstances, and very tight deadlines. Although many obstacles were presented throughout the project, they still managed to meet the requirements and handed over the project as per the anticipated schedule. Peter’s approach is evident in all aspects of the work including quoting, communication, availability and customer service to both our company and our customers
