Retaining walls
At Griffiths, we provide end-to-end retaining wall construction and ground stabilisation solutions across the Wellington region. Wellington’s unique topography and challenging terrain demand engineered stability, and our team has the specialised local experience to deliver.
From massive structural infrastructure projects to intricate residential landscape retaining, we handle jobs of every scale. Combining our deep geotechnical drilling expertise with robust civil construction capabilities, we design and build retaining systems that are engineered to last, ensuring your property, infrastructure, and land remain secure.
Timber Retaining Walls
A versatile, cost-effective, and highly reliable solution for managing slopes and creating usable space.
We construct durable timber pole and cantilever retaining walls perfect for Wellington’s residential sections, access ways, and boundaries. Built to strict engineering standards, our timber walls seamlessly blend structural integrity with a clean, natural aesthetic.
Shotcrete Retaining Walls & Slope Stabilisation
For steep faces, slip repairs, and high-risk erosion zones, our shotcrete solutions provide immediate, high-strength containment.
We apply premium shotcrete combined with reinforcing mesh to seal and stabilise rock and soil faces, delivering a robust barrier against weathering and ground movement.
Ground Anchors & Soil Nail Installations
When deep structural tie-backs are required to secure a failing slope or support a heavy retaining structure, Griffiths delivers.
Utilising our specialised drilling rigs, we install high-capacity soil nails and ground anchors deep into stable rock or soil strata. This tension-based system is ideal for tight spaces, critical infrastructure support, and complex Wellington hillside developments.
Geofabric & Reinforced Soil Retaining Walls
Utilising modern geosynthetics and engineered backfill, geofabric (MSE) walls are an innovative, highly stable solution for large-scale slope retention.
By wrapping and reinforcing layers of soil with high-strength geotextiles, we can construct steep, reliable embankments that naturally integrate with the surrounding environment while offering excellent seismic flexibility.
Concrete Block Retaining Walls
For a clean, modern look paired with uncompromising strength, we build interlocking concrete block and gravity block retaining walls.
These systems are highly durable, resistant to the elements, and ideal for both heavy-duty commercial boundaries and premium residential landscaping where space optimisation is key.
Landscape Retaining Walls
Enhance the functionality and value of your property. We specialise in transforming challenging, sloped Wellington yards into beautiful, tiered, and highly usable spaces.
Whether it’s creating flat lawns, tiered garden beds, or structural seating, our small-to-medium landscaping walls are built with the same precision and longevity as our heavy civil projects.
