Related project: Balwyn easement wall
A relevant nearby example is our Balwyn project, a 45 metre boundary and easement wall on a sloping site beside an existing sewer easement. The sewer pipe was a key constraint: footings went 2.6 metres deep to match the pipe invert level, and the layout had to work around existing boundary fences and changing levels.
That depth was set by the pipe at Balwyn, and not every wall needs it. If a Kew wall runs along an easement or boundary, send the survey, service locations and the engineer’s footing details so we can see what governs depth on your site.
How do easements affect a retaining wall quote?
They can limit where footings sit and how deep they go. Send the easement location, known service levels and the engineer’s details. We’ll price from those rather than assume.
Describe the constraints early
If your Kew site has limited working room, neighbouring buildings or an occupied adjoining property, show that in the brief. Include:
- Boundary survey, proposed alignment and adjacent structures
- Access widths, working room and photos
- Whether existing wall removal or temporary works are in our scope or by others
- Engineering status and inspection requirements
All walls are built to engineering specifications, including a waterproof membrane behind the wall and AGI pipe with scoria rock backfill, or free-draining concrete for walls carrying greater loads, as specified by the engineer.
FAQs
How should a constrained site be described?
Send access widths, photos, survey levels and the location of adjoining structures. Mark any areas that must stay operational and the items your package must include.
Can you coordinate design and certification?
Yes, within the agreed scope. See design and certification.
Which nearby areas do you cover?
Kew East, Balwyn and Balwyn North, as well as all Melbourne suburbs.
