Reinforced cast-in-place concrete retaining walls for grade changes, channels, basins and roadways.

Request a Bid

Retaining walls hold up roads, pads, channels and basins, and they only get one chance to be built right. Slater builds reinforced cast-in-place concrete retaining walls, from the footing excavation through drains, waterproofing and backfill.

What we build

  • Cantilever and counterfort retaining walls
  • Channel and basin walls
  • Walls along roads, grade separations and pads
  • Wall footings, keyways and drainage systems
  • Board-form, rubbed and formliner finishes

Who hires us

Developers and national homebuilders hire us for walls on tract and site work. General contractors sub concrete walls to us on road and commercial projects. Public agencies bring us in for walls on drainage and roadway improvements.

How we run the work

We excavate, form, place rebar, pour and backfill with our own crews and equipment. Walls are built in planned lifts with the inspector on the schedule, and because our forming material is already in the yard, one wall panel follows the next without delay.

FAQ

Questions we get about retaining walls

Do you build masonry or segmental walls?

Our focus is cast-in-place reinforced concrete walls. If a job mixes wall types, we'll price the concrete walls and tell you who we've seen do the rest well.

Do you handle the footing excavation and backfill?

Yes. We excavate, form and pour the footing and stem, install drains and waterproofing to plan, and backfill behind the wall with our own equipment.

Can you match an architectural finish?

We can place formliners, reveals and rubbed finishes to the spec. We'll pour a sample panel when the owner wants to see it first.
