The MacWall Diamond walling, specified by Geotechnical Engineers, Maccaferri, forms a 2 metre high retaining wall between the lakeside footways and the newly built houses that border this section of the marina development

 

Chosen because of its ease and speed of construction for this complex, piled-foundation site, the MacWall was built by Maypine over an 8 week contract period. Their site management was full of praise for how easily the MacWall System was to install. They were “well impressed” said a Maypine spokesman.

 

The MacWall was constructed on basic granular footings and incorporates site-won back-fill materials placed in compacted layers with polymeric geo-grid reinforcement behind the wall to create raised terraces overlooking the marina. These provide additional recreational space for the home owners and add an important vertical dimension to the overall scheme aesthetic.
