Project Overview
Design and construct of a 7m-high reinforced earth masonry wall for access to a shopping centre's click-and-collect facility. Scope included geotechnical investigation, detailed design, and construction of a high-quality retaining structure to support heavy vehicle access.
01
The Constraint
- ▸Site access restricted to a single-track, one-way-in/one-way-out system — every delivery timed to perfection
- ▸Highly confined footprint shared with other trades installing essential stormwater pipe
- ▸New wall had to seamlessly transition into existing structure with different masonry block size
02
Our Approach
How this job was delivered — the bridge from constraint to result.
- ▸Design and construct a 7m-high reinforced-earth masonry wall for click-and-collect heavy-vehicle access, starting with geotechnical investigation so soil stability matched the load.
- ▸Time every delivery to a single-track, one-way-in/one-way-out access system, sharing the confined footprint with other trades installing stormwater pipe.
- ▸Detail the new wall to transition into the existing structure despite a different masonry block size.
- ▸Implement design issues that arose mid-construction immediately, with zero impact on budget or completion date, under Project Manager Allan Botha and Site Foreman Shane Dodd.

The Outcome
- Design issues arising mid-construction were implemented immediately with zero impact on budget or completion date
- Strong client rapport maintained — high-energy site hitting every quality milestone on schedule
- Comprehensive geotechnical investigation ensuring soil stability for high-load heavy vehicle traffic
