Retaining Walls

Retaining walls have many applications.  Whether it be retaining a hillside swimming pool, or the foundation of your home, RJG crews have the experience, equipment, and knowledge to construct or repair any type of wall system.  Retaining walls may be constructed on conventional spread footings, concrete caissons, or Friction pile foundation systems. No matter what type your engineer specifies, our team is capable of completing the project.
