Retaining Walls for Government & Public Sector Sites in Norton

A retaining wall is a structure holding back tonnes of saturated soil. Drainage behind the wall matters as much as the blocks in front of it.

In this sector the driving requirement is usually: Water-wise planting

Norton lies west of Harare near Lake Chivero, mixing residential growth with industrial and agricultural premises. That matters here because: Wind exposure on open stands favours screening and hardy boundary planting.

• Proximity to the lake makes water-conscious design and runoff control important.
• Growing residential areas start from bare ground and need full landscape installation.
• Industrial premises need dust-proofed, demarcated floors.
• Wind exposure on open stands favours screening and hardy boundary planting.

We assess slope, soil and surcharge, then build with a compacted foundation, drainage layer, geogrid reinforcement where required, and weep or subsoil drainage.

• Segmental block and gravity walls
• Reinforced walls with geogrid for higher retention
• Gabion and natural stone walls
• Planter and terrace walls integrated with landscaping
• Behind-wall drainage and stormwater management

Government & Public Sector premises rarely close for a contractor. We sequence the work in zones, agree access and working hours before starting, and keep the site tidy daily so the rest of the premises stays usable.

• Turns unusable slope into usable ground
• Controls erosion and stormwater
• Defines terraces and garden rooms architecturally
