We had a new tank installed by DT Groundworks and the service, product and price were superb. Great communication from the office as well.

Janet Hunter

Extremely happy with the company. Friendly professional team, they installed our new septic tank with minimum disruption and always replied to our telephone and email queries the same day. Would definitely recommend them.

Nicky Titley

We instructed Dan to carry out a survey of a septic tank for a house we were buying. He saved us thousands picking up on an issue with the system another surveyor had missed. Very knowledgeable and professional. He has since carried out Groundworks on a self build we ended up buying. Excellent work, brilliant lads. Will use them again.

Gordon Green

Dan's team, Tim and Steve have just completed the installation of our Sewage Treatment Plant. All went extremely well and the job was completed within three days, a remarkable achievement. All was left clean and tidy on completion and we would have no hesitation of recommending them to any prospective clients who are intending to do similar work.

Complete Retaining Wall Services

Structural Integrity Meets Expert Craftsmanship

We’re more than just retaining wall builders near you we’re specialists in safe, long-lasting wall construction tailored to your site’s requirements. From excavation and drainage to blockwork, concrete pours and slope retention, our team handles complex briefs with confidence.

Retaining Wall Case Study

We specialise in the design and construction of reinforced concrete retaining walls, delivering structurally sound and long-lasting solutions built to engineering specification. Our retaining walls are typically constructed to a structural engineer’s design, incorporating significant mesh reinforcement and precision-tied steelwork, including starter bars, L-bars, and bent bars to form a robust framework.

The process begins with the excavation and pouring of the reinforced concrete footing, which provides a stable base for the wall. Once the foundation is complete, we assemble formwork or shuttering panels to match the required wall dimensions. The cavity is then filled with high-strength concrete, typically placed using a pump to ensure full compaction and a clean finish.

After curing, the formwork is stripped to reveal the completed concrete retaining wall. Depending on the project’s requirements, we can also apply waterproofing or tanking systems to protect against groundwater ingress and install effective drainage behind the wall to manage water pressure. The area is then backfilled and reinstated to achieve a seamless finish.

In addition to reinforced concrete walls, we also construct other retaining systems including MacWall solutions, gabion baskets, and modular interlocking systems such as Lego blocks. Each option is selected and delivered to meet the specific engineering and aesthetic needs of the site.

Our approach ensures that every retaining wall we build combines strength, precision, and durability providing dependable support and lasting performance for a wide range of commercial and industrial environments.
