We are renowned as experts in retaining wall construction and for delivering operational excellence.

As a king post wall contractor, we can design and construct king post retaining walls of largely retained heights with different installation methods.

Our King Post Wall Experts

Our team consists of highly skilled professionals with years of experience in ground engineering and retaining wall solutions. Our design engineers, project managers and operatives can assess site conditions, design optimal solutions, overcome challenges and execute installations with precision. Not only that, but our team ensures that the structures we deliver are built to last and value-engineered.

Equipment & Fleet

To deliver top-tier King Post Wall installations, we utilise a comprehensive fleet of specialised machinery and equipment. We also have access to Europe’s largest fleet of rigs and machinery including In-situ piling rigs, which are used for constructing piles directly within the ground, continuous flight auger (CFA) piling rigs for drilling, and mini piling rigs for sites with restricted access as well as cranes and excavators.

Our Sustainable Practices

We are committed to sustainable construction practices. We strive to minimise our environmental impact through innovative design, value engineering and reusing materials where possible. For example, in collaboration with MGF, we developed a King Post Wall solution that utilised recycled trench sheets as infill panels, reducing the need for new materials, saving costs and lowering the project’s carbon footprint.
