Structural Design: Retaining Wall and Outdoor Building
If you’re planning to build anything on a slope where cutting the soil is required, you’ll likely need a retaining wall. They can range from timber or rock, all the way to reinforced concrete. Choosing the right retaining wall for your soil profile and cut is critical for the safety of your investment.
Need a design for an outdoor project? We’ll take the time to understand your needs and talk options. We’ll then design your future outdoor structure, big or small. We’ll also advise you on your compliance obligations.
If you get either of these wrong then insurance won’t cover you. Avoid the traps and reduce risk. Call Vaziri Consulting today and we’ll make sure you’re protected.

Underground water, surface water and in some cases seepage can create a major problem to soil and subsequently to structures. This can sometimes cause soil sliding, which can lead to significant structural damage. Protect your investment. With extensive knowledge of soil mechanics and soil structure; we can assist you in controlling and managing underground water, minimising risk.
