Support for Engineering and Design of Redi-Rock Retaining Wall Projects
The engineering and design phase of a project can feel overwhelming. There's much to manage, from challenging site conditions to meeting strict wall height regulations. But you don’t have to do it alone. Redi-Rock’s technical experts are here to guide you through the process, offering support in key areas such as:
- Feasibility Assessments. In the early stages of a project, we can make design recommendations to ensure enough room to construct a Redi-Rock wall.
- Design Guidance. We’re here to guide your team through the available solutions based on your project’s site characteristics. You’ll have a solid understanding of the wall system your site may need, whether gravity, mechanically stabilized earth (MSE), freestanding, or hybrid.
- Analysis Guidance. Our team offers assistance and training with the Redi-Rock Wall+ Software (RRWall+), a free wall design tool available in six languages. With RRWall+, you can select specific design standards like ASD, LRFD (US), Eurocodes, and many other international standards or custom standards, model various site conditions, including soil layers, load types and locations, water conditions, and seismic considerations, and also analyze for slope stability and bearing capacity.
- General Plan Reviews and Calculations. Our team will help you nail down the details by thoroughly reviewing your project plans so your estimates can be spot on.
Installation Guidance for Contractors Installing Redi-Rock Retaining Walls
Even with a completed site plan and crews preparing to install, there may still be bumps along the way. Redi-Rock’s installation guidance is here to ensure everything goes off without a hitch:
- Product Installation Practices. Redi-Rock solutions are engineered for simple, straightforward wall installation for even the most inexperienced crews, but we’ll help you acquire the tools and techniques needed for flawless, finished projects.

Beyond Redi-Rock’s Support Services
While the Redi-Rock support team offers valuable project guidance, partnering with a local wall design engineer is critical for your retaining wall design. A third-party engineer typically facilitates site-specific design via our licensed manufacturer network. Local wall design engineers can provide the following:
- Understanding of local topography, soil conditions, and permitting requirements
- Understanding of the relationships and the roles of all the parties involved in a project
- The design tools necessary to prepare a proper set of stamped engineering plans
From expert technical support to installation guidance and innovative virtual tools, Redi-Rock’s technical support team equips engineers, designers, and contractors with the guidance they need to deliver outstanding retaining wall results, one project at a time.
