ReCon Retaining Wall Design

Proper design of a segmental retaining wall is a critical step in the completion of a successful retaining wall. A final design prepared and stamped by a licensed professional is required on most commercial and governmental projects. Many municipalities require professionally prepared wall designs as well when they exceed certain heights as dictated by local building codes or when they are considered “critical” in their use or application.

ReCon has conducted the required testing and can provide engineers with the information they need to design walls in accordance with current accepted design standards. Engineers and Specifiers can view and download documents and useful design information on the “Specifications and Testing”, “Typical Details” or “ReCon Standard Design Charts” pages.
