What sets this area apart

Wafra's plots are agricultural and rural, with black wet soil rich in organic matter and close to groundwater. Retaining walls here contain raised land for farms and homes, bearing weights of wet soil, plants and livestock. Organic soil weakens over time, so we design deeper foundations than usual with reinforced rebar. We also install very robust drainage to lower groundwater quickly, because constant moisture increases lateral pressure and causes wall collapse.

Wafra lies in Ahmadi governorate, an agricultural rural area near the Saudi border.

Wet organic soil in Wafra requires strong and periodic drainage to lower groundwater below retaining walls.

Questions about Retaining wall in Wafra

Call now
Why do retaining walls in Wafra need reinforced rebar?

Wet organic soil is weak and decomposes over time. Extra rebar compensates for this weakness and keeps the wall stable for longer.

Does deep groundwater in Wafra require special drainage?

Yes, we install very robust drainage with collection pipes, gravel layers and collection pits to remove water. Weak drainage causes rapid wall failure.
