Results
Fire-damaged retaining wall safely remediated, protecting the property above from future instability.
Slopes stabilised and naturally regenerated vegetation, reducing long-term erosion risk.
Innovative two-tiered retaining solution delivered within tight site constraints.
Integrated soil nailing, shotcrete, and micropile techniques provided a durable and cost-effective outcome.
Project
Solution
Designed slope-specific stabilisation using soil nails, high-tensile rockfall netting, and erosion control matting.
Delivered erosion control that promoted natural revegetation without hydro-seeding.
Constructed a lower retaining structure with soil nails and shotcrete, backfilled with stabilised sand to create a stable platform.
Rebuilt the upper retaining wall as a precast concrete panel wall supported by a strip footing and series of micropiles.
Combined geotechnical and structural systems to ensure stability, longevity, and minimal site disturbance.
Project
Challenges
Fire damage had compromised an existing retaining wall, increasing risk of undermining property above.
Restricted space at the site meant traditional retaining wall construction methods were not feasible.
Requirement to stabilise slopes prone to erosion while enabling long-term natural regeneration.
Need to design and integrate two retaining solutions within limited footprint.

Project
Overview
Geovert was engaged to stabilise fire-damaged slopes and an existing retaining wall at risk of undermining a property above. Using available geotechnical information, the team designed site-specific soil nailing and erosion control solutions, applying high-tensile rockfall netting and erosion control matting. Vegetation successfully regenerated naturally in a short time, enhancing long-term slope stability.
A two-part retaining solution was engineered to address the damaged wall: a soil nail and shotcrete structure forming a stable base, and a precast concrete panel wall supported by micropiles to provide permanent protection.
