An Increasing Demand
There has been an increased demand for retaining walls due to the rise in rainfall and flooding events in many areas over the last five years.
This demand stems from several factors:
Cost Saving Solutions
Inflationary Pressure - Traditional stone walls and building materials have increased dramatically post-COVID, creating a need for a lower cost solution without compromising on visual appeal or performance.
Cost Of Living - The cost of traditional retaining walls has also increased significantly due to the increased cost of the labour force, thanks to the ongoing cost of living crisis in the UK.
Increased Soil Erosion
Heavy Rainfall - Intense and frequent rain can lead to significant soil erosion on slopes and embankments, making retaining walls essential to stabilise the soil.
Flooding Impact - Floodwaters can wash away unprotected soil, exacerbating the need for reinforced structures like retaining walls to protect landscapes and properties.
Flood Management and Water Diversion
Stormwater Control - Retaining walls are often part of systems designed to manage stormwater, especially in urban areas where impermeable surfaces increase runoff.
Water Redirection - Properly designed retaining walls can help divert water away from vulnerable areas, protecting structures from water damage.
Property Protection
Sloped Properties - Increased rainfall can make slopes unstable, posing risks to homes and infrastructure. Retaining walls help secure these areas.
Foundation Stability - Retaining walls can prevent water infiltration and soil movement near foundations, protecting buildings from structural damage.
Landscaping and Functional Space
Maximising Usable Land - As erosion worsens with increased rainfall, retaining walls are often used to create terraces or flat areas, making previously unstable land usable.
Flood-Resilient Designs - Retaining walls are being incorporated into resilient landscaping designs, helping homeowners and businesses prepare for future flooding.
Regulatory and Insurance Pressure
Building Regulations - In areas prone to heavy rainfall or flooding, updated building regulations may require erosion control measures, increasing the need for retaining walls.
Insurance Requirements - Homeowners and businesses in flood-prone areas may need to install retaining walls to meet insurance requirements or reduce premiums.
