Bro I not long finished a massive deck job,using your deck video as a bit of a guide and starting a retaining wall job next week,this couldn't have come at a better time for some reference Love your work
Nice save! In my Country we must tie-back / anchoring-back almost all retaining walls (exept gravity, or cantilever walls) what we build and must use longlasting materials, like reinforced concrete for that. That piling wall especially from wood is the weakest structure I can imagine.
You might have just provided the answer to a problem I have been trying to work out. My block of land is split level and has a lot of solid sandstone. The bottom level of the house might be a meter or so below the top level section. I have been racking my brain how to stop the lower wall getting pushed over with time. I could use this dead man system and lock the reo into the lower section block walls. I just need to drill some holes in the top section.
The wall was most probably not on the neighbour's land and also not constructed by them. In short not the neighbour's problem. Further to that if you build a retaining wall that starts endangering your neighbour's property it's most certainly your responsibility to fix it.
Ask you client if you can do a cost break down for this job. As a DIYer who loses a part of himself every Bunnings visit all I see is a massive invoice
A builder once told me he got no satisfaction looking at a job finally finished coz all he saw was a string of one F*%k up after another that he had to fix… 😅😅

So many crappy retaining walls are going to be nightmares in 50 years time.

Can I ask what Country?
It's good to see a resolution to this problem. I'm just curious how much it cost to do this retrofit?
Nicely done! 💯
What was the additional cost to the project? Great execution on the engineering spec!

Another great video
That curved retaining wall I'd a thing of beauty... must have some good carpenters under ya!
So the neighbor got their wall fixed for free?

Most retaining walls are on lower side of slope ie bottom neighbours side. He would have put it in wen he dug out for the shed that's right beside it.
Wow, big job.
How much did the wall straighten ?
Good stuff!
very nice

was it lack of drainage that caused the issues? im doing a tricky wall shortly along a stream and with deadmen put in from the get go.
Awesome job Josh! Is that the most expensive section in the Hutt Valley?.😮
What was the cost to fix that retaining wall
If you don’t have money, don’t even worry about putting any think on this Property but obviously the owner has millions
Почему просто не срезали холм? То что вы сделали очень опасно ‼️
