I am looking at a development in Dorchester, in which a kingpin retaining wall has been suggested. Can anyone explain to me what type of retaining wall it is, what the sequence would be and maybe suggest a rate ?

many regards

Andrew

    Hi Andrew,

    This is out of my area, but is this the same thing as an anchored retaining wall?

    Thanks for your input - I assume that I could go for a pre-cast solution for the wall, or even use the pre-cast as a back shutter ?

    Best Regards

    Thanks for that, I think I need to talk to the Engineer, at least I know what they are suggesting now

    Best Regards

    In Romania they have a similar solution for temporary earthwork support. "A Berlin Wall" In this case H section steels are driven or bored into the ground and timbers placed between the web of the steel to retain earth.

    Dorchesters a long way from Kent! Hope your passport is in order and watch out for the "moon rakers"!
