The type of retaining wall
that we proposed for this
project is concrete block
retaining wall (cantilever)

Firm clayey

ii) Cantilever walls do not
require

installation

of

tiebacks below adjacent

properties.
iii)Cantilever walls offer a

simpler

construction

procedure

as

the

construction staging is much simpler.

iv) Cantilever walls use much less material than
a traditional gravity wall.
