Retaining wall in Kuwait - Salhiya

Retaining wall in Salhiya

Retaining walls in Salhiya hold ground on elevated or sloping plots near the commercial district. We assess the soil first, then design the wall for lateral pressure and cast reinforced concrete with integrated drainage.

What sets this area apart

Salhiya plots elevated above surrounding roads need strong retaining walls, especially when excavating a basement or lower level. The area's sandy soil with seasonal moisture requires a side drainage system behind the wall to prevent water pooling and excess pressure. We calculate foundation depth and wall thickness based on height, and pour in stages with adequate curing between lifts before loading.

Salhiya lies in Kuwait governorate, a district of elevated plots near the commercial complex where basement excavations are common.

We lay 10 to 15 cm drainage pipes behind each retaining wall to release seasonal groundwater.

  • Spread footing pour

    Wide footing spreads lateral soil load across a larger base area

  • Wall reinforcement and casting

    Linked vertical and horizontal rebar placed before full concrete casting

  • Waterproofing and drainage layer

    Membrane on the retained face with gravel layer and drain pipes

  • Controlled backfilling

    Backfill in layers with controlled compaction to avoid surcharge spikes

  • Finish and handover

    Exposed face treated then final inspection carried out before handover

Questions about Retaining wall in Salhiya

How do you determine retaining wall thickness based on height?

We study the soil first and measure expected lateral pressure, then design the wall with a thickness-to-height ratio between 0.5 and 0.8 based on depth and reinforcement. We verify calculations with the structural engineer before pouring.

Do deep retaining walls need special drainage?

Yes, especially in Salhiya with sandy soil and seasonal moisture. We install a drainage network behind the wall and at the base to direct water away and prevent slipping or cracking.
