Retaining Wall Failure – Camden
This retaining wall failure in Camden has failed due to inadequate foundations and excessive soil weight. As a common problem we are called to resolve, we were more than happy to help our client with this pressing issue.
Camden:
Camden is a vibrant area located in the heart of London, known for its eclectic mix of cultures, trendy shops, and bustling markets.
However, it has also been facing a serious issue with retaining walls.
How Is The Retaining Wall Failure Issue?
In recent years, the retaining walls that support many of the buildings in the area have been deteriorating, posing a risk to the safety of residents and visitors.
The issue is particularly acute in areas that are built on steep inclines, where retaining walls are essential to preventing soil erosion and ensuring stability.
The retaining wall failure problem is exacerbated by the fact that many of the retaining walls in Camden are quite old, having been constructed many decades ago.
In response, Camden council has been working to identify and address the issue.
They have been conducting surveys of the retaining walls and prioritizing repairs based on the severity of the damage.
Additionally, they have been engaging with local residents and business owners to raise awareness about the issue and gather support for their efforts.
Overall, the retaining wall issue in Camden is a serious concern, but one that is being actively addressed by the local council and community.
Structural Repairs are the experts that are on hand to rectify the growing issues.
Project Details:
Completion Date: Ongoing
Project Type: Retaining Wall Failure
Location: Camden, London
The Problem:
Failing walls are a common problem and one which this Camden property was likewise experiencing.
The reason the wall was failing was due to improper structural engineering design and excessive weight being placed on the wall and its inadequate foundations.
The Solution:
We had to undertake a significant project to rectify the issue because the height of the wall and the amount of soil behind it posed a considerable challenge.
Therefore, we decided to completely take down the wall and rebuild it from scratch, as the weight of the soil and the height behind it presented a significant risk of it falling down the hill.
